Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare is on my reading list for this year, as well... The Lambs of London by Peter Ackroyd (how many different ways can we bring Charles and Mary in here?)
Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb
Essays of Elia by Charles Lamb
Lambs of god by Marele Day
The wolves and the lamb by W.M. Thackeray

2. Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb
I'm interested in adaptations (e.g., Shakespeare from Plutarch, then Lamb from Shakespeare), so I pulled this ... You're right. I was trying to be punny. Sorry. I was talking about Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare. A Victorian remake by Charles Lamb. > 19
I think MerryMary was making a joke about Tales from Shakespeare, by Charles and Mary Lamb. It's their retelling, for children, of several of Shakespeare's plays.
Do yourself a favor and rent a DVD of The Big Sleep. It's an excellent movie! Tales from Shakespeare is intended for children. I picked up a great copy used for my nephews, though they're not quite ready for it yet.
Other than that, I'm not personally interested in adaptations or retellings. ... in preventing wrong title combining imo. Have you looked closely at the Charles Lamb page? I was able to find 18 copies of Tales from Shakespeare tonight by Marcia Williams that had been entered without an author,and separated them, but some are still hidden in a clump of 72 supposedly by C ... ... ago, and have managed to pick up a couple other volumes in the period since. I keep looking at different copies of their Tales from Shakespeare as they come up on ebay, but they've either looked too shabby or I've been outbid. I'd love to hear other recommendations on them from anyone.
... that one wouldn't come out any better. But I imagine one could benefit a lot on an older copy of the Rackham-illustrated Tales from Shakespeare. Mine was a newish facsimile as well as being used, which helped. I'm a little tired to go look for it; I apologize. ... It was the fact that this was a copy that reproduced Rackham's illustrations which sold me. :) Though I'd wanted Tales from Shakespeare before.
It was used, and, for me, a Eureka! find. :)
Thanks for the other recommendations.
Has anyone here read Virginia Woolf's Th ... ... his novels, The Trial of Elizabeth Cree and The House of Dr. Dee, have been highly recommended.
I think you'll enjoy Tales from Shakespeare when you get around to it (I would love to own the edition with the Rackham illustrations). I do like Charles Lamb, and have a beautiful copy of their joint Tales from Shakespeare, which I've meant to read. A fascinating pair, really.
Have you read his (Ackroyd's) London: the Biography?
