Tales from Shakespeare is an English children's book written by Charles Lamb and his sister Mary Lamb in 1807.
The book is designed to make the stories of Shakespeare's plays familiar to the young.
However, as noted in the authors' Preface, Shakespeare's] words are used whenever it seemed possible to bring them in; and in whatever has been added to give them the regular form of a connected story, diligent care has been taken to select such words as might least interrupt the effect of the beautiful English tongue in which he wrote: therefore, words introduced into our language since his time have been as far as possible avoided.
Mary Lamb was responsible for the comedies, while Charles wrote the tragedies; they wrote the preface between them.
Charles Lamb (10 February 1775 - 27 December 1834) was an English essayist, poet, and antiquarian, best known for his Essays of Elia and for the children's book Tales from Shakespeare, co-authored with his sister, Mary Lamb (1764-1847).
Friends with such literary luminaries as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, and William Hazlitt, Lamb was at the center of a major literary circle in England.
He has been referred to by E.
Lucas, his principal biographer, as the most lovable figure in English literature.
Lamb was born in London, the son of Elizabeth Field and John Lamb.
Lamb was the youngest child, with a sister 11 years older named Mary and an even older brother named John; there were four others who did not survive infancy.
His father John Lamb was a lawyer's clerk and spent most of his professional life as the assistant to a barrister named Samuel Salt, who lived in the Inner Temple in the legal district of London.
It was there in Crown Office Row that Charles Lamb was born and spent his youth.
