The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 3 Books for Children

"The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 3" by Charles Lamb is a collection of stories and poems created for young readers in the early 1800s. The compilation consists of easier-to-understand versions of famous stories like Shakespeare's plays, along with other tales and poems meant to spark children's interest in reading and teach them important lessons. The collection starts by explaining its goal: to introduce kids to Shakespeare and other classic stories in a way that's easy for them to grasp. The stories are rewritten to use words that kids can understand while still keeping the feel of the original tales. For example, “The Tempest” is the first story, and it's told in a way that gets kids excited about the characters like Prospero and Miranda, and the magical events of the story.
