"Tales from Shakespeare" by Charles & Mary Lamb - Henry Frowde, Oxford University Press, 1908 edition - 15cmx13cm - condition: very good, in fine full leather prize binding, rubbing to spine label, gilt prize label to cover, name to ffep, all plates present, some page foxing

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

Book arrived - but only just! Not packaged very well at all. Placed in a too-big Jiffy bag that meant it got damaged in all parts of its journey. By the time it reached me, the bag was torn.

In case of multiple lots seller structurally charges double/triple postage but sends only a single parcel. This is not allowed. Simply notify Catawiki and seller will be summoned to reimburse.

Pas op. Veel te late verzending. Ongeldige track & trace. Verkoper heeft dubbele verzendkosten in rekening gebracht en is door Catawiki gesommeerd deze terug te betalen. Kavel was wel in orde.

De verzendkosten zijn terugbetaald, maar moet wel eerst wachten op uitbetaling van catawiki, dus een onterechte beoordeling. De tracking code werkt gewoon. Zeker gezien de boeken bijna gratis gewonnen zijn, een zeer onterechte beoordeling.
