A beloved classic since 1807, this edition is perfect for young readers and students seeking an accessible yet rich introduction to the Bard’s timeless stories. ## Description Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb was written to be an 'introduction to the study of Shakespeare', but are much more entertaining than that. All of Shakespeare's best-loved plays, comic and tragic, are retold in a clear and robust style, and their literary quality has made them popular and sought-after ever since their first publication in 1807. This edition contains the delightful pen-and-ink drawings of Arthur Rackham. Review: An oldie, but goldie - This is a great way for a child/young teenager to learn the plot of the Shakespeare plays. It is written in a readable, enjoyable way, making it easy to learn the story and what is actually going on. That makes it easier for the pupil to understand the language that the Bard is using. It was aimed at children when it was written, however, I can see it being helpful even for the GCSE student, to give the overview when starting with a new play - or even the A level student who wants to compare different plays. Review: Good value - Bought it for my 7 year old granddaughter for her to keep and delve into whenever she wishes. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 214,831 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 761 in Fiction Classics for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 444 Reviews | ## Images ![Tales from Shakespeare (Children's Classics) (Wordsworth Children's Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81F4ds1YNyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An oldie, but goldie *by J***3 on 17 April 2013* This is a great way for a child/young teenager to learn the plot of the Shakespeare plays.

It's not dumbed down like some children's Shakespeare stories are. My home-educated kids love the stories. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/55469868-tales-from-shakespeare-childrens-classics-wordsworth-childrens-classics](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/55469868-tales-from-shakespeare-childrens-classics-wordsworth-childrens-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
