DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Tales from Shakespeare is an English children's book that was written in 1807 by siblings Charles and Mary Lamb. It was meant to be "for the use of young people" and uses as much Shakespearean language as possible. The comedies were told again by Mary Lamb, and the tragedies were told again by Charles. They left out the more complicated historical stories, like all the Roman plays, and changed the ones they did include in a way that was appropriate for young children without actually editing them. But subplots and sexual references were taken out. They both wrote the beginning. Warner says in the introduction to the 2007 Penguin Classics edition that Mary's name didn't appear on the title page until the seventh edition, which came out in 1838. Young kids in the early 2000s might find this book too challenging to read, and there are other options available. Still, this version of the story of the Lamb siblings stays very true to the original, which is good for kids who want to read or learn the plays exactly as Shakespeare wrote them.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Tales from Shakespeare is an English children's book written by the siblings Charles and Mary Lamb in 1807, intended "for the use of young persons" while retaining as much Shakespearean language as possible. Mary Lamb was responsible for retelling the comedies and Charles the tragedies. They omitted the more complex historical tales, including all Roman plays, and modified those they chose to retell in a manner sensitive to the needs of young children, but without resorting to actual censoring. However, subplots and sexual references were removed. They wrote the preface together. Tales from Shakespeare has been republished many times and has never been out of print. Charles and Mary Lamb appeared to have anticipated the enormous growth in the popularity of Shakespeare in the nineteenth century, when the book was one of the best-selling titles.
