THE TEMPEST

by William Shakespeare

Illustrated by Arthur Rackham

Published by William Heinemann Ltd.; Doubleday, Page & Company. 1st. 1926

Almost very good condition in a good dustwrapper. When asked to name five Shakespeare plays he would like to illustrate, Rackham placed The Tempest at the top of the list second only to Midsummer Night's Dream. This preference is evident in the 20 glorious colour tipped-in plates contained in this book. Dark grey cloth, gilt titles and decoration to spine and front cover. 185 pages.

Damp stains along cover edges. Inscriptions in ink to front endpaper. Some foxing and page browning. Wrapper is very browned to spine, with a few tears and has tape mark to top. Foxing also to wrapper, with edge-creasing; a few tears and chips, with a little loss.
