Charles Lamb (10 February 1775 โ 27 December 1834) was an English essayist, best known for his Essays of Elia and for the children's book Tales from Shakespeare, which he produced with his sister, Mary Lamb (1764โ1847). Lamb has been referred to by E.V. Lucas, his principal biographer, as "the most lovable figure in English literature".
