Summary
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
