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'
