Description

In Tales of Shakespeare Charles and Mary Lamb wished to bring their favourite plays to life for children too young to read and appreciate Shakespeare’s work. They adapted twenty of Shakespeare's plays in simple language so that it makes easy reading for the young readers. This selection features The Tempest; A Midsummer Night's Dream; As You Like It; The Merchant of Venice; King Lear; Macbeth; The Taming of the Shrew; Romeo and Juliet; Hamlet; and Othello. Simple and compelling, these vibrant retellings of the great playwright's timeless tales will undoubtedly charm readers of all ages.

"We are such stuff as dreams are made on…" While the language of William Shakespeare's plays can make them challenging for some readers, their plots are filled with fantastical, almost fairytale-like plot devices-misunderstandings involving identical twins, magical forests, ghosts and witches, and foolish kings-that make them irresistible to almost any reader. This gorgeous new edition of Charles and Mary Lamb's beloved book collects their versions of twenty Shakespeare comedies and tragedies. Far from being mere plot summaries, the Tales closely follow the plays, frequently incorporating Shakespeare's exact language into the thrilling and dramatic narratives. Beautifully illustrated with classic artwork by Arthur Rackham, W. Paget, and Robert Anning Bell, Tales from Shakespeare provides a unique way to experience these enduring plays.
