What is the author's style in Tales from Shakespeare by Charles Lamb?

Charles and Mary Lamb use the third person omniscient point of view throughout the tales. The authors are completely familiar with Shakespeare's plays and their abridged stories are written with total knowledge of the characters, their motives, the plot developments and denouements. They tell the tales using exposition and dialogue, using quotes from Shakespeare's original plays, thus letting Shakespeare's point of view come to life for their readers, many of whom are children. The couple portrays Shakespeare's characters in the tragedies as bigger than life, having extreme and forceful feelings of love, envy, avarice, loyalty and misery. The comedies are told with the point of view a fairytale author might use.
