The `Tales from Shakespeare` by Charles and Mary Lamb were written to be an `introduction to the study of Shakespeare` but are much more entertaining than that. All of Shakespeare`s best loved plays, comic and tragic, are retold in a clear and robust style, and their literary quality has made them popular and sought-after ever since their first publication in 1807. This edition contains the delightful pen-and-ink drawings of that master of illustration, Arthur Rackham.
