These twenty tales from Shakespeare’s plays are designed to make Shakespeare familiar to the young. The tales are told with delightful simplicity, and a faithfulness to their originals, which are not lessened by the gentle salutary emphasis on the moral of the central situation.
Shakespeare's own language is skillfully interwoven into the thread of the narrative wherever possible. Mary wrote the fourteen comedies and Charles, the six tragedies.
