Tales from Shakespeare (Hardcover) / Charles and Mary Lamb

This retelling in prose of twenty of Shakespeares thirtyseven plays was originally published just for children. Keeping Shakespeares own words whenever possible but making the plots and language easily understandable, this very listenable collection has entertained and informed generations of adults as well. With such classic stories as A Midsummer Nights Dream, Much Ado about Nothing, Hamlet, and more, Shakespeares most memorable characters come to life anew as magicians and fairies, fools and kings weave their magic, mischief, and madness.
