The Illustrated Tales from Shakespeare
by Mary Lamb, William Shakespeare, Charles Lamb
Well, I had my own renditions and doubts before starting Tales From Shakespeare. Even though the blurb said that it is "prose retellings of Shakespeare's plays", I was besotted with doubts because reading summaries of Shakespearean plays is the last thing on my mind right now. Hence I thought of reading all the read plays from it and even though it is a retelling, Shakespeare's magic doesn't seem to have lost.
This edition of Tales From Shakespeare has twenty plays by Shakespeare - comedies, tragedies and tragicomedies - in prose. Though short, it demands meticulous attention to be read and understood. It was such a delight to have read and get the essence of Shakespeare from none other than Charles and Mary Lamb. This reading also gave me a to-read play that I normally might not have thought to read. Pericles, Prince of Tyre is on top of my to-read list as far as Shakespearean plays are considered.
