Zusammenfassung: |
"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 |
