Tales From Shakespeare [Paperback] [Jan 01, 2013] Charles & Mary Lamb

Shakespeare's genius is known to all in the world, however, his language has certainly dated and not everyone can enjoy his stories. To this end, Charles and Mary Lamb retell his stories, some of his tragedies, comedies and histories for children. The language is simple enough for beginning readers to understand, and preserve the wit and humour of Shakespeare throughout the book. They retain Shakespeare's words in their essence, helping readers learn how to associate with the Bard of Avon from a young age. The book is a must have for every child's library.
