In 1807, Charles Lamb and his sister Mary were asked to rewrite William Shakespeare's renowned plays so that even children could easily understand them. And there has since been no better introduction to Shakespeare's masterpieces than the lambs' adaptation which was elegantly put into narratives. Tales unfailingly delivers the wit, drama and humanity that the original plays have, and never loses the feel of their beautiful language. This book rewards those who are already familiar with Shakespeare, as well as those who are reading his work for the first time.
