Tales from Shakespeare<\/strong><\/h3>\n

by Charles and Mary Lamb<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Look inside…<\/a><\/p>\n

Description:  <\/span>First published in 1807, these simple retellings of the plots of Shakespeare’s plays have delighted generations of children, while serving as an excellent introduction to the dramas of our greatest playwright. Shakespeare’s own language is used as much as possible to accustom children to the English of the Elizabethan age and so make easier their transition to the reading of the plays themselves. Numerous black and white illustrations by Louis Rhead complement the text.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
