{"product_id":"tales-from-shakespeare-charles-lamb-9780141441627","title":"Tales from Shakespeare","description":"As children, Charles and Mary Lamb took great delight in exploring their benefactor's extensive library; as adults they began writing children's books together that also appealed to all generations. In \u003ci\u003eTales of Shakespeare\u003c\/i\u003e they wished to bring their favourite plays to life for children too young to read and appreciate Shakespeare's work. This collection of twenty of Shakespeare's stories begins with \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e, which explores themes of magic, power and reconciliation, and ends with \u003ci\u003ePericles, Prince of Tyre\u003c\/i\u003e, an exotic play of love, loss and family ties. Between these two tales are twelve romances and comedies, all written by Mary, and six tragedies, all written by Charles. Each tale is told chronologically and retains much of Shakespeare's lyricism, phrasing and rhythm. Together, they form a captivating and accessible introduction to the Bard's work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Lamb, Mary Lamb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0141441623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141441627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e52298 \/ Tales from Shakespeare (Unabridged)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Charles Lamb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043781505279,"sku":"9780141441627","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73221cb1-fce9-467d-bbbe-05ec4727b0a6.jpg?v=1684969099","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-from-shakespeare-charles-lamb-9780141441627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
