Although William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, he traditionally receives little notice in studies of children’s literature. The author describes the significance of the Lamb’s Tales as the pre-eminent children’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s literature, focusing particularly on the lavishly illustrated Edwardian editions which used pictures to convey Shakespeare’s stories for children.

Notes
- "First published in 1807, Mary and Charles Lamb’s Tales from Shakespeare was recognized as a classic of children’s literature. This work examines Lambs’ Tales, including the ways the lavishly illustrated Edwardian editions used pictures to convey the stories for children. It also covers alternatives to the stories, school textbooks from the period, and multi-volume American collections"– Provided by publisher
