Originally published in the early 19th century by a brother and sister, these adaptations of six of Shakespeare's most famous plays were intended for children.
《莎士比亚戏剧故事集》——这原是为英国儿童写的通俗读物,现已成为全世界莎剧初学者必读的入门书。
内容简介
The story of Charles and Mary Lamb is briefly presented in the beginning of this edition and reads nearly as interesting as a Shakespeare play. They originally collaborated as a way to earn money as well as to introduce young readers to the works of the famous bard, preserving whenever possible "Shakespeare's own words."
Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Othello, Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing, and
King Lear are adapted to a length and simplicity suitable for older elementary or middle school students while retaining the complex plots and characterizations so familiar to readers of Shakespeare. The six stories offer readers a taste of the comic and the tragic, and will provide the incentive to tackle the plays themselves at the high school level under proper adult guidance. Three centuries later, the Lambs' adaptations remain a fine introduction to Shakespeare's writings and are a must for the well-rounded library. Occasional color illustrations of period-looking characters and settings provide interest for young readers, as do the boxed presentation. Reviewer: Meredith Kiger, Ph.D.
