{"product_id":"tales-from-shakespeare-book-charles-lamb-9788179928325","title":"Tales from Shakespeare","description":"Originally published in 1807 Tales of Shakespeare is almost as classic as the plays by the bard himself. Charles Lamb (1775-1834) and his sister Mary Lamb (1764-1874) have taken twenty of Shakespeare's best plays and retold them in a more modern style--in digestible prose--aimed at sophisticated teenagers. All character dialogue, however, comes straight from the plays. A great way to become familiar with these masterpieces of literature before tackling the original versions. Highly recommended for everyone who wants a better understanding of Shakespeare's great works in a readable modern format. * * * * If you aren't familiar enough with Shakespearean old English to follow along without getting lost, or if you're taking your kids to see one of his plays, this book is invaluable. A very great way to introduce kids to Shakespeare, and to a love for classic literature. * * * * Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) was one of the most famous illustrators of his day and this book showcases twelve full-page, full color paintings, two full-page black-and-white illustrations, and seventeen smaller chapter-head and chapter-ending drawings that demonstrate his clear and gorgeous style. * * * * Includes the plays: The Tempest (Comedy); A Midsummer's Night Dream (Comedy); The Winter's Tale (Comedy); Much Ado About Nothing (Comedy); As You Like It (Comedy); The Two Gentlemen of Verona (Comedy); The Merchant of Venice (Comedy); Cymbeline (Comedic Tragedy); King Lear (Tragedy); Macbeth (Tragedy); All's Well That Ends Well (Comedy); The Taming of the Shrew (Comedy); The Comedy of Errors (Comedy); Measure for Measure (Comedy); Twelfth Night, or What You Will (Comedy); Timon of Athens; (Tragedy) Romeo and Juliet (Tragedy); Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (Tragedy); Othello (Comedic Tragedy); and Pericles, Prince of Tyre (Comedy). * * * * Check our other Children's, Juvenile, and Adult books at www.FlyingChipmunkPublishing.com, or Like us on Facebook for our latest releases.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49594153926929,"sku":"GOR013765359","price":16.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51064668029201,"sku":"NIN9788179928325","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52425030762769,"sku":"NLS9788179928325","price":42.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8179928322.jpg?v=1751223124","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/tales-from-shakespeare-book-charles-lamb-9788179928325","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
