Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Books for children
Charles Lamb · 1912
80/100
👍 Worth It
The Lambs' Tales from Shakespeare has earned its place as one of the great gateways into Shakespeare for young readers, and this collection bundles it with several other charming, historically important works. The prose is old-fashioned and the tragedies carry real weight, so a parent reading along helps, but the literary pedigree here is the real thing.
