By You Know Who
Format:Leather Bound
There's no doubt that William Shakespeare is one of the greatest playwrights and poets in the history of Western literature, whose influence and legacy continues to this day. And anyone whose has appreciation for Shakespeare will know that they must have his complete works in their personal library, especially leatherbound hardcover copies; a fitting tribute to the Bard of Avon. This beautiful and reasonably priced leatherbound is a wonderful collection of all Shakespeare's works; all his plays, sonnets, poems and other work, including a glossary to help you understand the dramatic "olde" English Shakespeare used. The cover is a wonderful design, making it stand out in any library with a fantastic portrait of the poet, with nice additions of the gold-coloured fabric bookmark and the golden-lined pages.
