Tales from Shakespeare
Charles Lamb
Lu par Karen Savage
The following Tales are meant to be submitted to the young reader as an introduction to the study of Shakespeare, for which purpose his words are used whenever it seemed possible to bring them in; and in whatever has been added to give them the regular form of a connected story, diligent care has been taken to select such words as might least interrupt the effect of the beautiful English tongue in which he wrote: therefore, words introduced into our language since his time have been as far as possible avoided. (from the Author's Preface) (8 hr 29 min)

I really like these stories by Shakespeare. I have never heard them until this, or if I did I don’t remember. I like the voice. Shakespeare loves love!
