"Tales from Shakespeare" by Charles & Mary Lamb and illustrated by Byam Shaw - George Bell, London- 1903 first thus UK edition - 15cmx13cm - condition: very good, in original binding, inscription to ffep, with all Byam Shaw illustrations present


Tales from Shakespeare is an English children's book written by the siblings Charles and Mary Lamb in 1807, intended "for the use of young persons"[1] while retaining as much Shakespearean language as possible.[2] Mary Lamb was responsible for retelling the comedies and Charles the tragedies.[3] They omitted the more complex historical tales, including all Roman plays, and modified those they chose to retell in a manner sensitive to the needs of young children, but without resorting to actual censoring. However, subplots and sexual references were removed.[3] They wrote the preface together.

Marina Warner, in her introduction to the 2007 Penguin Classics edition, claims that Mary did not get her name on the title page till the seventh edition in 1838.[4]

Despite its original target audience, "very young" children from the early twenty-first century might find this book a challenging read, and alternatives are available. Nevertheless, the retelling of the Lamb siblings remains uniquely faithful to the original[3] and as such can be useful to children when they read or learn the plays as Shakespeare wrote them.

Boeken in goede orde ontvangen, dank. Er waren wat problemen met de verzending en dan blijkt dat het contact met de verkoper nogal moeizaam verloopt.

Spedizione a dar poco lenta, penso che avrebbe fatto più presto a viaggiare con una carrozza a cavalli. Spese di spedizione eccessive, pagati separatamente due oggetti arrivati nello stesso pacco

Ik ben deze week weggeweest. Ik heb u net een bericht gestuurd dat een onderzoek met postnl opgestart zal worden voor dit pakket; en u kan vervangende boeken krijgen of een refund.

Boek is in orde maar ruim 2 weken op verzending moeten wachten.

Everything fine – the envelope was a bit torn, but the bubble wrap protected the book well. Thanks.

Fast delivery and well-packaged (luckily, because the courier just slammed it through the mailslot). Always happy buying from this seller!
