Book excerpt: Excerpt from All Shakespeare's Tales But the purpose of this book is far removed from so presuming an effort, although the writer has, with Lamb, the definite desire to bring Shakespeare nearer to the affections of the young reader. If these Tales awaken interest in the less widely known of Shake speare's plays, if they serve only as simple guides to render the plays more clear to future readers, they will accomplish their purpose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Tales From Shakespeare Although in the following pages I have chosen those plays, or most of them, which Charles and Mary Lamb omitted from their Tales from Shake speare, and although I have. Taken a title very like theirs, my attempt has not been to round off or tag a conclusion to their inimitable work. They, as wise judges of what their book should be, found that a certain class of play lay outside their purpose. It is just these plays - the historical ones - which, with a different purpose, are here cast into narrative form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Stories of the English Kings It is inevitable, in retelling the stories of Shakespeare's English Kings, that we should recall the names of Charles and Mary Lamb. These gifted authors are associated immortally with Shakespeare, and their Tales must remain a classic for youthful readers, to whom a simple prose rendering is of great value as an introduction to the genius of our greatest poet. The Histories, however, were not included in the Tales, hence there is opportunity for an endeavour to provide a prose version of this attractive section of the great plays. Beginning with the period before the Roman invader came to our shores, and passing through the times of Plantagenet and Tudor to the opening days of Elizabeth, Shakespeare has presented in his wonderful series an almost complete view of the great figures of English history, indicating with a sure touch the movements, crises, and turning-points of our national development. The canvas is a crowded one, but there is no superfluous figure, and from the king to the peasant he holds the mirror of genius up to Nature and reflects life. The inner significance has been well indicated by Walter Pater. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fairy Tales From Shakespeare A long, long time ago, when Fairies, Sprites, and Witches dwelt in the forests, there lived a tiny Fairy King whose name was Oberon, and though a wee mite, he felt very large, and would strut around in a most amusing manner. His Queen Titania was a beautiful fairy, and for so small a body she carried herself with great grace and dignity. Now, we find that fairies sometimes quarrel and do naughty things, just as do little girls and boys and even grown-ups at times. Fairy King Oberon and Queen Titania Often quarreled because Titania refused to give a little boy (whom she had reared) to King Oberon for a page.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Shakespeare's Comedies In the preface to the first edition the authors say that these Tales "are meant to be submitted to the young reader as an introduction to the study of Shakespeare, for which purpose his 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." The authors say also. "It has been wished to make these Tales easy reading for very young children. To the utmost of their ability the writers have constantly kept this in mind; but the subjects of most of them made this a very difficult task. It was no easy matter to give the histories of men and women in terms familiar to the apprehension of a very young mind.

Shakespeare These things considered, what wonder is it that the works of Shakespeare, next to the Bible, are the most highly esteemed of all the classics of English literature. So extensively have the characters of Shakespeare been drawn upon by artists, poets, and writers of fiction, says an American author,7 So interwoven are these charac ters in the great body of English literature, that to be ignorant of the plot of these dramas is often a cause of embarrassment.
