Il libro è stato spedito dall'estero ed usato ma è arrivato nei tempi indicati, anche in anticipo, ed era in buone condizioni. Assolutamente da provare! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All beautiful *by G***R on 18 October 2023* I like everything about this book. It give a general understanding of Shakespeare's plays. Simple enough for a child to understand, relevant and interesting enough for an adult to enjoy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A useful book to have... *by R***N on 1 September 2010* As an A level English student soon to begin studying Othello in depth, I decided to buy this book as a way of introducing myself to the plot of the play and the characters. Although I have not read any of the other stories yet, if the Lambs' retelling of The Moor of Venice is anything to go by it was worth spending 85p on a used copy! Yes, the book might have been originally aimed at children who lived in 1807, but it still can be used today by all ages as a useful overview of 20 of the Bard's plays. As you might expect, the language is a little archaic but it does a good job of giving background on the major characters and their role in the play, whilst more or less keeping the prose as simplistic enough as a fairy tale. It even includes some of the original speech which, when placed in prose context, seems much less cryptic than when first read in play form. If only I'd bought this book when I studied A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest and Hamlet! I will definitely, if I get the chance, recommend it to my classmates. What else can I say? I good, useful book that should well belong on everyone's bookcases as a point of reference. Well done Mr and Mrs Lamb! ## Frequently Bought Together - Tales From Shakespeare - Parables From Nature (Classic Living Book) - Fifty famous stories retold --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/400831181-signet-tales-from-shakespeare](https://www.desertcart.us/products/400831181-signet-tales-from-shakespeare) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
