I've found a TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE book but i can't find out when it was made?

Question

The book is a small brown book, with a somewhat odd texture like leather.. the authors are Charles and Mary Lamb. Can anyone tell me more about the book. Found it in a box of old stuff.

Answer 1

It's probably from 1878, but I can't be absolutely sure.



You should take it to an antiquarian.

Answer 2

Scroll through these. Some of them don't have pictures of the cover - see if you can match your edition with the number of pages.

Also know that Lambs' Tales are online - a great teaching tool.

Answer 3

1987

Answer 4

It was written 1807!

If you check closely, you should find the date of the printing somewhere in the first or last pages!

Good luck!
