Summary

"This book examines the ways in which Shakespeare's plays have been turned into stories for children, particularly in Mary and Charles Lamb's 1807 Tales from Shakespeare. The author describes the significance of the Lambs' Tales as the pre-eminent children's adaptation of Shakespeare, focusing particularly on the lavishly illustrated Edwardian editions."--BOOK JACKET.
