Description: THE BARD'S STORIES IN TODAY'S PROSE - AND SPECTACULAR ILLUSTRATIONS THIS SPLENDID ILLUSTRATED VOLUME is a collection of 12 of Shakespeare's plays told as short stories by the acclaimed author Leon Garfield accompanied by full color as well as black-and-white illustrations by Michael Foreman, one of Britain's foremost book illustrators. The stories are bound to be enjoyed not only younger readers meeting Shakespeare for the first time but older readers well acquainted with the Bard's work. Among Garfield's many published writings are the retellings of traditional and classical works for which he has won honors and awards on both sides of the Atlantic. Like the author, Michael Foreman has also been praised highly for his illustrations in books for younger readers. Together they have made this a memorable book. THIS BOOK IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION with clean, crisp and unmarked pages, a firm and square hardcover binding and an intact dust-jacket that we have protected with a Brodart plastic cover to keep it looking good. Numerous illustrations leap from the pages (see above) - and there are no signs of prior ownership such as an inscription or bookplate.
