SHAKEPEARE'S PLEASANT WORK PRESENTED IN aS PLEASING AN ILLUSTRATED format as one could hope to find. Hugh Thomson’s delightfully detailed and skillful illustrations would be hard to surpass making this a true gem in its pretty binding. Thomson's pen-and-ink drawings are in much the same style as those he did for works by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.<br> As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 and first published in the First Folio in 1623. The play's first performance is uncertain though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 the house having been a focus for literary activity under Mary Sidney for much of the later 16th century has been suggested as a possibility. <br> The play follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and eventually love in the Forest of Arden. In the forest they encounter a variety of memorable characters notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches "All the world's a stage" and provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country.

The press expanded significantly over the years and printed many wonderful editions by a plethora of writers.<br> The books were printed for A.H. Bullen and F. Sidgwick at the press in the house of Julius Shaw the poet's friend and one of the witnesses to his will. The text with essays by H.C. Beeching Robert Bridges Henry Davey E.K. Chambers J.J. Jusserand and M.H. Spielmann. The type was composed under the supervision of T.E. Summerton. The whole was printed by F.S. Cooper. The work was begun in July 1904 and finished in January 1907.<br> Colin Franklin writing in THE PRIVATE PRESSES says that in the years after the death of A. H. Bullen the Press's founder the Shakespeare Head Press "became the most mature and sophisticated of the private presses producing some works in the grand manner which are a great pleasure to read and examine now" p. 147. This set indeed is "in the grand manner" beautifully printed on fine paper and very handsomely bound and presented.<br> This is a pleasing set internally showing the full effect of the beautiful Shakespeare Head Press printing of Shakespeare.
