Tales from Shakespeare

During class, freshmen, I mentioned Tales from Shakespeare by Charles Lamb and his sister, Mary, a children’s book that distills the Bill’s comedies and tragedies to a manageable form for kids. You can read an illustrated version at the University of Florida’s Digital Collections.

In it is contained, of course, our current drama Romeo and Juliet. It’s worth a look, maybe have a read for clarification purposes. It’s pretty simple, but it’s at least better than Cliff’s or Spark’s Notes.
