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"
