Charles Lamb, a distinguished English essayist, collaborated with his sister, Mary, to create enthralling prose retellings for young readers of some of Shakespeare’s most beloved works. This selection from their 1807 publications features\u00a0The Tempest<\/i>; \u00a0A Midsummer Night’s Dream<\/i>;\u00a0As You Like It<\/i>;\u00a0The Merchant of Venice<\/i>;\u00a0King Lear<\/i>;\u00a0Macbeth<\/i>;\u00a0The Taming of the Shrew<\/i>;\u00a0Romeo and Juliet<\/i>;\u00a0Hamlet<\/i>;\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0Othello<\/i>.
\n“What these tales shall have been to the young readers,” Charles Lamb wrote, “that and much more it is the writers’ wish that the true plays of Shakespeare may prove to them in older years \u2014 enrichers of the fancy, strengtheners of virtue, a withdrawing from all selfish and mercenary thoughts, a lesson of all sweet and honorable thoughts and actions. To teach courtesy, benignity, generosity, humanity: for of examples, teaching these virtues, his pages are full.”
\nSimple and compelling, these vibrant retellings of the great playwright’s timeless tales will undoubtedly charm readers of all ages.<\/p>\n
