My first introduction to Shakespeare was as a child,
when I was given Lamb's Tales of Shakespeare. Charles
and Mary Lamb (he's better known as Elia for his adult
writings) summarizes the plots of major plays and
writes them as stories.  They weren't dull at all, but
exciting stories.  The funny thing, though, was the
end of Hamlet, where everyone dies in about two
sentences.

I see we have the book in the collection, available to
non-members as well as to members. Here the title is
just Tales of Shakespeare.

Your book sounds very interesting.

Cindy
