SHAKESPEARE, William - LAMB, Charles & MaryBiblio.com

Tales from Shakespear: Designed for the use of young persons.

1807168764London: printed for Thomas Hodgkins at the Juvenile Library 1807. A child's copy of the first great Shakespeare book for children First edition in a contemporary binding. Charles and Mary Lamb's retellings of Shakespeare's plays for children stand as "the first work for children of British authorship never to have been out of print. Its success established the retelling of classics of English literature to children as a worthy task" Grolier. Shakespeare's stories were adapted for a young audience from at least the 1790s but this work was the first to enjoy a great commercial success establishing "children's Shakespeare" as a subgenre. Though only Charles is credited as the author on the title page the collection was the result of a collaboration with Mary contributing fourteen adaptations and Charles the remaining six. The Tales are beautifully illustrated with engravings generally attributed to the Irish painter William Mulready 1786-1863. This was the copy of Angoulême Moira Forbes 1796-1810 the fourth son of George Forbes 6th Earl of Ganard with both title pages inscribed with his name and the date 1807. Angoulême Moira was 11 at the time and it seems likely that he received the books as a gift; the confident handwriting suggests that they were inscribed on his behalf. On the front pastedown of volume II is the later inscription of another member of the family one C. S. Forbes. This copy has Wise's points of first issue with the imprint of the printer T. Davison on the verso of p. 235 in volume and with the Hanway Street address in the final adverts. 2 vols duodecimo 160 x 99 mm. With 20 engraved plates. Contemporary black straight-grain half roan smooth spines divided by gilt fillets and lettered in gilt marbled sides and edges vol. II only retaining red silk bookmarker loosely inserted. Bound without last leaf of advertisements in vol. II. Shelf wear to board edges front inner hinge of vol. II partially cracked at foot the binding firm light foxing and marks to endpapers and occasionally to contents else clean. A very good set. Ashley III pp. 42-3; Grolier Children's 100 24. unknown

Lamb says in his preface that he "wished to make these Tales easy reading for young children.for young ladies too it has been my intention chiefly to wrote because boys are generally permitted the use of their fathers' libraries at a much earlier age than girls are they frequently have the best of Shakespear by heart before their sisters are permitted to look into this manly book"; Hugh Walpole was a best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s with a large and varied output. Between 1909 and 1941 he wrote thirty-six novels five volumes of short stories two original plays and three volumes of memoirs. His range included disturbing studies of the macabre children's stories and historical fiction most notably his Herries Chronicle series set in the Lake District. He worked in Hollywood writing scenarios for two Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films in the 1930s and played a cameo in the 1935 version of David Copperfield. As a gay man at a time when homosexual practices were illegal for men in Britain Walpole conducted a succession of intense but discreet relationships with other men and was for much of his life in search of what he saw as "the perfect friend". He eventually found one a married policeman with whom he settled in the English Lake District. Having as a young man eagerly sought the support of established authors he was in his later years a generous sponsor of many younger writers. He was a patron of the visual arts and bequeathed a substantial legacy of paintings to the Tate Gallery and other British institutions. wikipedia. 1302843. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. M. J.
