"This elegant facsimile edition of Shakespeare's works includes all the bard's plays, as well as the complete sonnets and poetry. The great joy of this volume--and what makes it a very special presentation of Shakespeare's works--is that it includes over sixty superb color illustrations and hundreds of black and white illustrations scattered throughout the text. The art was created by Sir John Gilbert, George Cruikshank and R. Dudley for the original edition. Moreover, the size renders the script far easier on the eye and escapes from the usual textbook style of tiny type and cramped notes. Here, Shakespeare's words flow from the pages in a stunning presentation that does full justice to his literary genius. This book re-creates the magnificent original production. Although it has since been published in separate volumes, now the entire masterpiece is gathered together for the first time in nearly 120 years. ". Bookseller Inventory # 2413
