These tales are the perfect introduction to Shakespeare's greatest
plays. Renowned writers and essayists of the 18th century, siblings
Charles and Mary Lamb vividly bring to life the power of Hamlet and
Othello, the fun of As You Like It and the drama of Pericles. Their
accessible writing never loses the feel of Shakespeare's beautiful
language and humanity, and convey all of his wit and wisdom. These
tales are classic literature in their own right. Puffin Clothbound
Classics is a series of much-loved stories from classic literature
for children and adults, brought together in beautiful hardback
volumes.
In 1807, Charles Lamb and his sister Mary wrote a collection of
stories retelling twenty of Shakespeare's plays for children. While
making sure that the pieces were accessible for a younger audience,
they took care to stay faithful to the language and vocabulary of
the Bard as much as possible. Ranging from the high drama of Romeo
and Juliet to the delightful fancy of A Midsummer Night's Dream and
the humour of As You Like it, this collection of vivid adaptations
- here presented in a lavish new edition - has been a much loved
children's classic for more than two hundred years, offering
budding readers an accessible route to Shakespeare's works.
Includes: "The Tempest" - "A Midsummer Night's Dream" - "The
Winter's Tale" - "Much Ado About Nothing" - "As You Like It" -
"Cymbeline" - "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" - "The Merchant of
Venice" - "King Lear" - "Macbeth" - "All's Well that Ends Well" -
"The Taming of the Shrew" - "The Comedy of Errors" - "Measure for
Measure" - "Twelfth Night" - "Timon of Athens" - "Romeo and Juliet"
- "Hamlet" - "Othello" - "Pericles"
