The book is designed to make the stories of Shakespeare’splays familiar to the young. However, as noted in the author’s Preface, “[Shakespeare’s]words are used whenever it seemed possible to bring them in; and in whateverhas been added to give them the regular form of a connected story, diligentcare has been taken to select such words as might least interrupt the effect ofthe beautiful English tongue in which he wrote: therefore, words introducedinto our language since his time have been as far as possible avoided.” MaryLamb was responsible for the comedies, while Charles wrote the tragedies; theywrote the preface between them. The book has been republished many times. Itwas illustrated by Sir John Gilbert (1866), Arthur Rackham (1899,1909), Louis Monzièsin (1908), Walter Paget (1910), D. C. Eyles (1934, 1938).
