When I dug a little deeper to know more about Lamb siblings I learned that Mary Lamb suffered from some mental illness and in a fit once mortally wounded her mother as a result of which she was confined to mental facilities for most of her remaining life. Therefore, Charles Lamb retold the tragedies and Mary Lamb retold the comedies in the story form. Charles Lamb was a celebrated prose writer of the Seventeenth Century and ‘Tales from Shakespeare’ is a work that he wrote in collaboration with his elder sister Mary Lamb who was also a writer and poet, to acquaint the young readers with Shakespearean plays. The book ‘Tales from Shakespeare’ is a prose retelling of William Shakespeare’s plays, by Charles and Mary Lamb. Warning: The review may contain some spoilers for those who haven’t read William Shakespeare’s plays. ![]()
