TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE 


Charles & Mary Lamb 





Tales from Shakespeare 
by Charles Lamb (1775-1834) and Mary Lamb (1764-1847) 


“The following 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.”
