Лучше Шекспира может быть только Шекспир. Но как привить детям любовь к его сложным для восприятия пьесам? На этот вопрос ответили Чарльз и Мэри Лэм - брат и сестра, которые в начале XIX века взялись за невероятное по своему размаху дело - составление пересказа произведений Шекспира для детей. Книга сразу завоёвывает широкую популярность и признаётся критиками образцом английского стиля. Так переложение классики само становится классическим.

В нашем издании выходит пересказ наиболее известных произведений Шекспира в переводе Александры Глебовской и Надежды Сечкиной с атмосферными иллюстрациями викторианского художника Артура Рэкхема.

In 1807, Charles Lamb and his sister Mary wrote a collection of stories retelling twenty of Shakespeare's plays for children. While making sure that the pieces were accessible for a younger audience, they took care to stay faithful to the language and vocabulary of the Bard as much as possible.
Ranging from the high drama of Romeo and Juliet to the delightful fancy of A Midsummer Night's Dream and the humour of As You Like it, this collection of vivid adaptations - here presented in a lavish new edition - has been a much loved children's classic for more than two hundred years, offering budding readers an accessible route to Shakespeare's works.

Excerpt from Mrs. Leicester's School C, Vol. 2 of 12

The Reynolds Gallery has, upon the Whole, disappointed me. Some of the portraits are interesting. They are faces of characters whom we (middle-aged gentlemen) were born a little too late to remember, but about whom we have heard our fathers tell stories till we almost fancy to have seen them. There is a charm in the portrait of a Rodney or a Keppel, which even a picture of Nelson must want for me. I should turn away after a slight inspection from the best likeness that could be made of Mrs. Anne Clarke; but Kitty Fisher is a considerable personage. Then the dresses of some of the women so exactly remind us of modes which we can just recall; of the forms under which the venerable relationships of aunt or mother first presented themselves to our young eyes; the aprons, the coifs, the lappets, the hoods. Mercy on us I what a load of head ornaments seem to have conspired to bury a pretty face in the picture of Mrs. Long, yet could not! Reality must have some "charmed life" to have been able to surmount the conspiracy of fashion in those days to destroy it.

The portraits which least pleased me were those of boys as infant Bacchuses, Jupiters, etc. Rut the artist is not to be blamed for the disguise. No doubt the parents wished to sec their children deified in their lifetime.
