Tales From Shakespeare is a beloved classic that first appeared in 1807. Charles and Mary Lamb wrote these retellings from the famous English poet to introduce children to the great comedies, histories, tragedies, and dramas of the Bard of Avon. The stories are told in language that makes the works easier to understand, but Shakespeare's original Elizabethan language is included throughout much of the book to capture the heart of the great playwright. This edition includes all 20 plays, including The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Winter's Tale, Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It, Two Gentlemen Of Verona, Merchant Of Venice, Cymbeline, King Lear, Macbeth, All's Well That Ends Well, Taming Of The Shrew, The Comedy Of Errors, Measure For Measure, Twelfth Night; Or What You Will, Timon Of Athens, Romeo And Juliet, Hamlet, Prince Of Denmark, Othello, Pericles, and Prince Of Tyre.
