Tales from Shakespeare is an English children's book written by the siblings Charles and Mary Lamb in 1807, intended "for the use of young persons" while retaining as much Shakespearean language as possible. Mary Lamb was responsible for retelling the comedies and Charles the tragedies. They omitted the more complex historical tales, including all Roman plays, and modified those they chose to retell in a manner sensitive to the needs of young children, but without resorting to actual censoring. However, subplots and sexual references were removed. They wrote the preface together. Mary did not get her name on the title page till the seventh edition in 1838. Ref A5 5.

With its richly detailed evocation of the land and the people Lawrence passionately believed in, its incisive portraits of key players, from Faisal ibn Hussein, the future Hashemite king of Syria and Iraq, to General Sir Edmund Allenby and other members of the British imperial forces, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom is an indispensible primary historical source. It helps us to understand today's Middle East, while giving us thrilling accounts of military exploits (including the liberation of Aqaba and Damascus), clandestine activities, and human foibles." ; tan colored cloth in beautifully illustrated dustjacket ; bookplate ; thick, heavy volume ; FINE/FINE.

Hardcover. Limited and numbered issue of 2008. This Castle Hill Press reproduction of the original Portraits for Seven Pillars of Wisdom was initially conceived to accompany the 1997 first Castle Hill Press limited edition of the full 1922 "Oxford Text" of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. This Portraits volume is a stunning visual accompaniment to any Seven Pillars of Wisdom text, featuring 41 full-page Seven Pillars Portraits, 26 in full color. These are the portraits originally commissioned by Lawrence himself for his magnificent and legendary 1926 Subscriber's edition.Castle Hill Press was headed by Lawrence's official biographer, Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017). Years after the 1997 edition of Seven Pillars and the accompanying issuance of the Portraits, Wilson's Castle Hill Press issued a limited number of this stand-alone Portraits volume. In 2008, 220 sets of portraits were issued thus, bound in quarter linen cloth over tan, laid paper-covered boards. The binding measures a substantial 11.375 x 8.125 inches (28.89 x 20.64 cm). The limitation page is hand-numbered in red ink, this copy being "215." This copy was acquired by us directly from the publisher and is in as new condition, unread and immaculately clean, inside and out.Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the story of T. E. Lawrence's (1888-1935) remarkable odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer and ended as "Lawrence of Arabia." This time defined Lawrence with indelible experience and celebrity, which he spent the rest of his short life struggling to reconcile and reject, to recount and repress. Lawrence famously resisted publication of his magnum opus for the general public during his lifetime. After numerous drafts, abandonments, and revisions, in 1922, a 335,000 word version was carefully circulated to select friends and literary critics - the famous "Oxford Text". George Bernard Shaw called it "a masterpiece".Nonetheless, Lawrence was unready to see it distributed to the public. In 1926, a further edited 250,000 word "Subscriber's Edition" was produced by Lawrence - but only slightly more than 200 copies were made, each lavishly and uniquely bound. The process cost Lawrence far more than he made in subscriptions. The portraits commissioned by Lawrence for the edition from Frank Dobson, Colin Gill, Augustus John, Eric Kennington, Henry Lamb, William Nicholson, William Roberts, William Rothenstein, John Singer Sargent, Gilbert Spencer, and R. M. Young were an essential part of the elaborate effort that produced the famous edition. Eric Henri Kennington (1888-1960), himself a veteran of the First World War, was by far the dominant artistic vision in these portraits, responsible for 24 of the 41 and serving as art editor for the 1926 Subscriber's Edition. Kennington actually traveled to the Middle East in order to draw his subjects from life, rather than from photographs, collecting portraits on a private journey through Trans-Jordan and the Hejaz. Known as a painter, print maker, and sculptor, Kennington was best regarded as "a born painter of the nameless heroes of the rank and file" whom he portrayed during both the First and Second World Wars. After the First World War, Kennington met T. E. Lawrence at an exhibition of Kennington's war art. It is a credit to Kennington's portraiture that he was even able to capture Lawrence's own fretful relationship with his own fame. After Kennington produced a bust of Lawrence, the subject wrote to the sculptor "It represents not me, but my top-moments, those few seconds in which I succeed in thinking myself right out of things." In 1935, Kennington served as one of Lawrence's pallbearers. Kennington's portraits, and those of his fellow artists, were considered by Lawrence an essential accompanying element to his text. It is difficult not to agree.…
