Intended as a method to bring Shakespeare for younger readers, Tales From Shakespeare explores twenty of the bard's greatest plays. Named as one of The Guardian's best 100 non-fiction books, each play has been carefully adapted in a story format.
Stories include:
· A Midsummer's Night's Dream
· Much Ado About Nothing
· As you Like It
· King Lear
· Macbeth
· Twelfth Night
· Romeo and Juliet
· Hamlet
and more.
Crafted by renowned writers and essayists of the 18th century, siblings Charles and Mary Lamb. Tales From Shakespeare vividly bring to life the power of Shakespeare's stories with wit and wisdom.
'First published in 1807, and never out of print, these stories, adapted from 20 of Shakespeare's plays, are clever and powerful summaries designed to provide children with enough plot and characterisation to allow them to understand the plays themselves when they later see or read the authentic versions.'
