Shakespeare for Children, with eBook

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
