«Shakespeare cuenta...» is the young-adult adaptation of Shakespeare's plays written by Mary and Charles Lamb and published by Planetalector in paperback.
Mary and Charles Lamb turned seven of William Shakespeare's works into stories to bring his theatre closer to young readers: Othello, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, King Lear, Macbeth and Twelfth Night. In agile prose, the tales retain the original plots of the dramas.
The work belongs to the Espasa Juvenil collection (no. 13) and its Spanish edition has 136 pages.
Recommended for ages 12 and up, it serves as a first approach to Shakespeare's theatre for young readers.
Mary Anne Lamb was an English writer. She is best known for the collaboration with her brother Charles on the collection Tales from Shakespeare (1807). Mary suffered from mental illness, and in 1796, aged 31, she stabbed her mother to death during a mental breakdown. She was confined to mental facilities for most of her remaining life. She and Charles presided over a literary circle in London that included the poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, among others.
