Brother and sister Charles and Mary Lamb collaborated on “Tales From Shakespeare,” a young people’s introduction to the Bard that’s so influential it hasn’t been out of print since 1807. Their lives had drama to rival any Shakespeare play. In 1796, at age 32, Mary stabbed their mother to death. Rather than see her committed to a mental institution, 21-year-old Charles took responsibility for Mary’s care. They lived and worked together for nearly 40 years and are buried in a shared grave.
