Description

TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE

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.

What these tales have been to the young readers, that and much more it is writers’ wish that Plays of Shakespeare may prove to them in older years-enrichers of the fancy, strengheners of virtue, a withdrawing from all selfish and mercenary thoughts, a lesson of all sweet and honourable thoughts and actions, to teach humanity, courtesy, benignity
