Tales from Shakespeare | Мері Лемб

Tales from Shakespeare, authored by Charles and Mary Lamb, was originally conceived as an ‘introduction to the study of Shakespeare’. However, the enduring appeal and literary merit of these retellings have proven them to be much more entertaining and engaging than that initial purpose suggests.

All of Shakespeare’s best-loved plays, encompassing both comic and tragic narratives, are retold here in a clear and robust style. Their exceptional literary quality has ensured their widespread popularity and made them a sought-after work ever since their first publication in 1807.

This edition is further enhanced by the inclusion of the delightful pen-and-ink drawings by Arthur Rackham.
