But this fault, if it be a fault, has been caused by an earnest wish to give as much of Shakespeare's own words as possible: and if the \"He said,\" and \"She said,\" the question and the reply, should sometimes seem tedious to their young ears, they must pardon it, because it was the only way in which could be given to them a few hints and little foretastes of the great pleasure which awaits them in their elder years, when they come to the rich treasures from which these small and valueless coins are extracted; pretending to no other merit than as faint and imperfect stamps of Shakespeare's matchless image. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Midsummer Night's Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Winter's Tale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuch Ado About Nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs You Like it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Two Gentlemen of Verona\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Merchant of Venice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCymbeline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll's Well that Ends Well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Taming of the Shrew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Comedy of Errors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure for Measure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwelfth Night or what You Will\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimon of Athens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHamlet, Prince of Denmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOthello\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePericles, Prince of Tyre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Lamb, Mary Lamb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1523434317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781523434312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.29d\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":46024751251711,"sku":"9781523434312","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53600248-059e-4959-8dc0-822591027bdd.jpg?v=1723129118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-from-shakespeare-charles-lamb-9781523434312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
