Antique Tales from Shakespeare book by Charles & Mary Lamb. This book has a pretty green and red binding from Hurst and Company in New York.
Tales from Shakespeare is a children's book written by the siblings Charles and Mary Lamb in 1807, intended "for the use of young persons" while retaining as much Shakespearean language as possible. Includes such works as Romeo and Juliet, Othello, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Winter's Tale, and more.
There is no publication date in this book, but it was likely published in the late 1800s or early 1900s. There is wear and considerable discoloration of the cover, spine, and pages due to age and maybe a little water damage to the top of the cover. Pages are brown and brittle and spine is cracked and a little loose, but pages are still in tact. Book measures about 7.5" x 5". Please note that photos may appear brighter than actual book.
