About this title: This children's book takes the classic tales from twenty of Shakespeare's writings and alters the language so that children can easily read and understand them. The Lamb's were diligent in using as much of Shakespeare's original language as possible. When vocabulary was changed they were careful to use only words that were in existence in Shakespeare's time.
