Book Summary

Tales from Shakespeare is a classic collection of stories that retell William Shakespeare’s famous plays in clear, simple prose. Written especially for young readers and beginners, the book makes Shakespeare’s works easy to understand without needing to read the original poetic language.

The stories include well-known plays such as The Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and The Tempest. While the language is simplified, the Lambs carefully preserve the main plots, characters, and moral lessons of the original plays.

About Author

Charles Lamb (1775–1834) and his sister Mary Lamb (1764–1847) were English writers best known for their book Tales from Shakespeare. The Lambs worked together to adapt William Shakespeare’s plays into simple, easy-to-read stories for young readers.

Charles Lamb mainly retold the tragedies, while Mary Lamb adapted most of the comedies. Their goal was to introduce children to Shakespeare’s characters, plots, and themes without the difficulty of Elizabethan language.

  • Tales from Shakespeare*, first published in 1807, became a classic because it made Shakespeare accessible and enjoyable for students and beginners. The Lambs’ work is praised for keeping the spirit and moral lessons of the original plays while using clear and graceful prose.

Their collaboration remains an important contribution to English literature and education.
