Here are wonderful prose retellings of William Shakespeare, done at the beginning of the 19th century by the English poet, publicist, and literary critic Charles Lamb and his sister Mary, who gained wide popularity and became classics of their genre.
The task of Charles and Mary Lamb was to introduce the younger generation to Shakespeare’s works: to make his plays accessible to children’s minds while preserving as much as possible the unique language of the great playwright.
