Description

** PRELOVED BOOK LIGHTY-USED CONDITION WITH MINOR YELLOWING APPEARANCE **

‘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 Arthur Rackham.
