Produktbeschreibung

Tales from Shakespeare was written by Charles and Mary Lamb in the early nineteenth century to introduce children to the greatest plays of William Shakespeare. They adapted twenty of Shakespeare's plays in simple language so that it makes easy reading for the young readers. Conveying all Shakespeare's wit, wisdom and humanity, and never losing the feel of his beautiful language, these tales are classic literature in their own right.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Charles Lamb was an English essayist with Welsh heritage, best known for his 'Essays of Elia' and for the children's book 'Tales from Shakespeare, which he produced along with his sister. Mary Lamb (1764-1847) was an English writer. She is best known today for her collaboration with Charles on the collection Tales from Shakespeare. Mary suffered from mental illness, and in 1796 she stabbed her mother to death during a mental breakdown. She was confined to mental facilities off and on for most of her life. She and Charles presided over a literary circle in London that included the poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, among others.
