Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb is a memento compilation for all readers and draws from the canon of William Shakespeare's most notable tragicomedies and comedies. Tales from Shakespeare examines all elements of human personality with the highest compassion and remarkable refinement, from Portia's spontaneous wit to Desdemona's pure purity; Cordelia's candour to Romeo and Juliet's tragic narrative of passionate love. The young readers of Charles and Mary Lamb's books are promised a special rediscovery of the Bard's 20 brilliant plays, bringing them closer to the contemporary relevance of the venerable author's language and verse. The literary flavour is present, the language is straightforward, and reading is incredibly soul-satisfying. All seasons are well suited for this collection.
