Publisher's Summary:
Originally written to be an 'introduction to the study of Shakespeare,' Shakespeare for Children is much more entertaining than that—some of Shakespeare's best-loved plays, comic and tragic, are retold in a clear and robust style. Charles and Mary Lamb introduce children to the magic of Shakespeare with these ten favorite tales. Although simplified, these stories don't underestimate young readers; they keep the complexity, twists of plot, and turns of fate found in the originals. And their literary quality has made them popular and sought-after ever since their first publication in 1807. Included in this edition are: —'The Tempest' —'A Midsummer Night's Dream' —'Much Ado About Nothing' —'King Lear' —'Macbeth' —'The Taming of the Shrew' —'Twelfth Night; or, What You Will' —'Romeo and Juliet' —'Hamlet, Prince of Denmark' —'Othello'
