About the Book

Excerpt from The Works in Prose and Verse of Charles and Mary Lamb, Vol. 2: Tales for Children; Poetry for Children; Poems; Dramatic Works I have wished to make these Tales easy reading for very young children. To the utmost of my ability I have constantly kept this in my mind but the subjects Of most of them made this a very difficult task. It was no easy matter to give the histories Of men and women in terms familiar to the apprehension of a very young mind. For young ladies too it has been my intention chiefly to write, because boys are generally permitted the use of their fathers' libraries at a much earlier age than girls are, they frequently having the best scenes Of Shakespear by heart, before their sisters are permitted to look into this manly book and therefore, instead of recommending these Tales to the perusal of young gentlemen who can read them so much better in the originals, I must rather beg their kind assistance in explaining to their Sisters such parts as are hardest for them to understand; and when they have helped them to get over the difficulties, then perhaps they will read to them (carefully selecting what is proper for a young sister's ear) some passage which has pleased them in one of these stories, in the very words of the scene from which it is taken and I trust they will find that the beauti ful extracts, the select passages, they may chuse to give their sisters in this way, will be much better relished and understood from their having some notion of the general story from one of these imperfect abridgments - 1which if they be fortunately so done as to prove delightful to any Of you, my young readers, I hope will have no worse effect upon you, than to make you wish yourselves a little older.
