 History

UNESCO has selected 23rd April as World Book Day to pay tribute to great literary authors and writers including William Shakespeare, Miguel Cervantes, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega who died on this day. In 1995, this date was finalised by the UNESCO General Conference, held in Paris, to pay tribute and honour authors and books worldwide.

Whose birthday is celebrated as world book day?

April 23, 1995, was decided by UNESCO as it was also the death and birth anniversary of William Shakespeare, a world-famous author.
