Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Charles and Mary Lamb’s classic prose retellings of Shakespeare’s plays for young readers, now available in an unabridged, paperback volume in Union Square and Co.’s Signature Editions series. Originally published in 1807 by brother and sister Charles and Mary Lamb, Tales from Shakespeare offers entertaining and highly readable versions of William Shakespeare’s most popular and enduring works. This volume collects twenty prose renditions of Shakespeare’s comedies and tragedies, including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, and Hamlet. Maintaining Shakespeare’s original language whenever possible, these captivating retellings bring his plays to life in a faithful but accessible way, providing an excellent introduction to the Bard’s work for children.

Recenzii

First published in 1807, and never out of print, these stories, adapted from 20 of Shakespeare's plays, are clever and powerful summaries designed to provide children with enough plot and characterisation to allow them to understand the plays themselves when they later see or read the authentic versions.
