Since 1995, World Book Day, an annual event by Unesco, has been recognised and celebrated to promote reading, publishing and copyright.
The date of April 23 was chosen to celebrate this day as it also coincides with the death anniversary of famous writers William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, along with the births and deaths of other prominent authors of the past.
