This famous retelling of twenty of Shakespeare`s plays by Charles and Mary Lamb has delighted generations of adults as well as children and provides entertaining and informative introductions to these great works. Using prose to simplify plot and language but incorporating some of the original speeches, the Lambs remained sensitive to the original plays, brilliantly re-creating characters and action. From the overpowering drama of `Hamlet` and `Macbeth` to the engaging wit of `The Taming of the Shrew` and `Twelfth Night`, Shakespeare`s best-known tragedies and comedies are brought vividly to life.
