Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

This edition of The Essays of Elia reproduces Charles Lamb's classic reflections on English culture, faith and social life as it stood in the early 19th century. A much-loved figure of his time, Charles Lamb published numerous reflections on the changing and evolving nature of England's society. Gifted at choosing topics that were unusual yet capable of holding reader's interest, Lamb had experienced many facets of English life - educated at boarding school, his stutter meant he could not embark on a career in the church, so instead he worked in a merchant's office and later as an accountant for the East India Company. He also suffered periods of mental ill-health, and witnessed the brutalities of treatment in the madhouses. By all accounts an amiable man, Lamb's gifts for observation are borne out in his Essays on Elia. These writings concern things such as old churches, chimney sweeps, teaching, and events in commerce and trade.

'We are such stuff as dreams are made on…' While the language of William Shakespeare's plays can make them challenging for some readers, their plots are filled with fantastical, almost fairytale-like plot devices —misunderstandings involving identical twins, magical forests, ghosts and witches, and foolish kings — that make them irresistible to almost any reader. This gorgeous new edition of Charles and Mary Lamb's beloved book collects their versions of twenty Shakespeare comedies and tragedies. Far from being mere plot summaries, Tales transforms Shakespeare's elegant and poetic dialogue into thrilling and dramatic stories of love, betrayal and magic. Beautifully illustrated with classic artwork by Arthur Rackham, W. Paget, and Robert Anning Bell, Tales from Shakespeare provides a unique way to experience these enduring plays.
