À propos de l'auteur
Charles Lamb (1775-1834) was an English essayist, poet, and antiquarian renowned for his essays under the pseudonym 'Elia' for the London Magazine and his celebrated collaboration with his sister Mary Lamb in the production of 'Tales from Shakespeare'. Lamb's writing style is known for its conversational tone, personal and whimsical subjects, and gentle humour. His essays are considered some of the most charming in the English language, with 'Essays of Elia' being his most famous collection. While Lamb's resume comprises a range of essays, letters, and poems, his work 'Shakespeare for Children (Illustrated)' remains a celebrated introduction of the Bard's work to young readers. In this adaptation, Lamb, with the help of his sister, retold the enchanting tales of Shakespeare's plays, aiming to captivate the little ones and imbue in them a love for classic literature. Lamb's approach to Shakespeare's stories is marked by a clear, narrative style that maintains the essence of the original plays while making them accessible to children. Charles Lamb's contributions to English literature, particularly his role in bringing Shakespeare to young audiences, enshrines him as a significant literary figure of his era.
