Synopsis
Adult readers as well as young ones have found pleasure in 'Lambs' Tales' for over 150 years. The Lambs' happy collaboration in retelling the plays of Shakespeare has long since been recognized as a first-class introduction to the originals. The work left by the Lambs has the added merit of standing as literature in its own right, for the literary partnership (seated at one table, as Mary says, like 'an old literary Darby and Joan') had a wonderful facility for extracting the essentials of character and action allied to skilful unfolding of the plot. The world of the high tragedies -even the intractable Timon of Athens - is attempted and finely told. The storm scene in Lear, the plotting of Lago against the purity of Desdemona, over-throwing the mind of the noble Othello, the drawing together of the sprawling chronicle of Pericles - all these things which are unfolded in the more difficult medium of blank verse in the originals take on a wealth of objective meaning in the Lamb's retelling. Even confirmed Shakespeareans will enjoy these Tales for their warmth of heart, and for lovers of Charles Lamb, they display yet another facet of that quiet, compelling genius who became one of the greatest writers of occasional prose
