	2.	Twelfth Night illustrated by W. Heath Robinson   Shakespeare, William; Heath Robinson London Hodder and Stoughton 1908 Heath Robinson 4to. With SCARCE dust jacket. Publisher’s gilt-pictorial green cloth, spine evenly faded, dust jacket with mounted colour plate, ends of spine panel slightly rubbed, some discolouration to a few gutters inside, else very nice inside with negligible foxing. Shakespeare's comedy, "Twelfth Night", shares much with our era's "Harry Potter" and "Forrest Gump". It is a wildly improbable, hugely entertaining fantasy. And just beneath the surface are life's darkest, most terrible truths. In the era of kings, the court jester has one special privilege. It was his job, when it was necessary, to speak plainly to the king and to tell him the blunt truth. In "Twelfth Night", behind all the humour, both the jester and the play tell a truth that is at once happy and sad. This edition was Robinson’s first foray into the suddenly popular gift book market, whereby images on coated paper were tipped onto pages bound into the book. This process allowed the printers to achieve a brilliant image that reproduced the artists' work more faithfully than ever before. The images are dark and wonderful! A very good+ copy in the very scarce very good+ dust jacket. E-mail for pictures. Price: 1056.22 USD
