These tales are the perfect introduction to Shakespeare's greatest plays. Charles and Mary Lamb vividly bring to life the power of Hamlet and Othello, the fun of As You Like It and A Midsummer Night's Dream and the heartbreak of Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare's beautiful language and humanity, and his wit and wisdom, are faithfully conveyed in these classic retellings.
