Did Shakespeare write and publish several plays in his early teens?

No. That is not to say it's impossible, but Shakespeare at that stage of his life had no access to theatrical people or to any publishers. It's highly unlikely that Shakespeare would have attempted to write a play, and even more unlikely that he would have had it published. Plays were only published after long and successful theatre runs, which no such juvenile effort would have had. There is not one scintilla of evidence which would suggest otherwise.


Why did William Shakespeare not write books?

Since everything Shakespeare wrote has at some time or another been published in book form, from one perspective he certainly did write books. Indeed he intended some of it, especially his long poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece to be published in book form.What you mean possibly is: "Why did William Shakespeare not write novels?" The reason is that novels were at that time a new form of writing that was rare and not fully developed. There was no money in them. Plays on the other hand were what Shakespeare was paid to write.
