An enthralling retelling of Shakespeare’s twenty masterpieces, Tales from Shakespeare is a real feast of simple words flavoured with those tasty tidbits of Shakespearean language which appeared to Charles & Mary Lamb comprehensible. Conveying Shakespeare’s wit, wisdom and humanity and retaining the grandeur and depth of the source texts, the powerful themes and unforgettable characterisation of his plays have been so skilfully distilled into elegant narratives that they can be enjoyed as classic tales in their own right.
