The Shakespeare's Stories are the British children's books written by Charles and Mary Lamb's brothers and sisters in 1807.
This book is designed to make stories of Shakespeare's drama familiar to young people. Mary Lamb was responsible for comedy, while Charles wrote the tragedy; they write a preface between them. Marina Warner, in the introduction to the Penguin 2007 edition, said that Mary did not get her name on the title page until the seventh edition of 1838.

Stories from Shakespeare have been republished several times. It was first published by William Godwin Youth Library (under the alias of Thomas Hodgkins) and his second wife, Mary Jane Clairmont, who chose illustrations, perhaps by William Mulready. Later illustrators included Sir John Gilbert in 1866, Arthur Rackham in 1899 and 1909, Louis MonziÃÆ'¨s in 1908, Walter Paget in 1910, and D. C. Eyles in 1934.
In 1893-4, the book was supplemented by additional stories by Harrison S. Morris, and reissued in the United States as a multi-volume collection with colored plate illustrations. As stated in the preface of the author, "the words [Shakespeare] are used whenever it seems possible to carry them, and whatever has been added to give them the regular form of connected stories, diligent attention has been taken to choosing words like because it may at least disrupt the effects of the beautiful English in which he writes: therefore, words introduced into our language since time have been avoided as far as possible.
