In 1807 brother and sister Charles and Mary Lamb collaborated to create Tales From Shakespeare- the full collection of Shakespeare’s works, rewritten for children. The summaries above are taken from that work. As such, they might be said to be an over simplification (as all summaries are) and should be used only to get a general idea of the work in one’s mind, not to comment on it.
Mary lead a life which was plagued by bi-polar disorder, sadly she was prone to long terms of what was viewed to be insanity. To read more about her, see this page.
