Description

London, England: William Heinemann, 1919. Sixth Printing. Leather-bound. Near Fine. Quarto. Half-bound in navy morocco (goatskin) over four-colour, stone-marbled boards. Four raised bands (five compartments) to spine, with bright gilt-on-black spine label, which, oddly enough, names the illustrator, but neglects to mention the playwright, (whomever he was!) Thick paper, lightly toned. Forty beautiful and magical, color plates, each mounted on thick art paper, protected by tissue guards, fully captioned. 134 pp. A gorgeous and eminently giftable edition of Shakespeare's delightful romp through a tale of lovers, actors, fairies and forests.

About The Dream of a Ridiculous Man

The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (Russian: Сон смешного человека) is a short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky written in 1877. It chronicles the experiences of a man who believes nothing has any value and is ripe with existential insights into human life and a reformation of spirit.
