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"
