Description
Tales From Shakespeare
Author: Charles and Mary Lamb
Hard cover. Good condition. 1876 edition.
Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb is a beloved retelling of many of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays, adapted into accessible prose for younger readers and general audiences. Rather than presenting the original verse, the Lambs preserve the spirit and essential plots of the tragedies and comedies—such as Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Tempest, and Romeo and Juliet—while simplifying complex language and structures to make the stories clearer and more engaging. Their version captures key characters, dramatic themes, and memorable moments with warmth and clarity, offering an inviting introduction to Shakespeare’s worlds while honoring the timeless human emotions at the heart of his work.
