Tales from Tragedies Tales from Shakespeare is a beautiful collection of stories adapted from some of Shakespeare's best loved plays. Written in 1807 by Charles and Mary Lamb, the stories simplify the narrative for young readers while retaining as much of the original Shakespearean text as possible. These tales are uniquely faithful to the Bard's original plays and ideal as both an introduction to classic drama or an enjoyable reminder of some much loved plays. This Chadworth & Sons edition is illustrated with the engravings of H. C. Selous and is available for Kindle and as a pocket-sized paperback, ideal for reading while travelling or on holiday.
