Hardcover. Zustand: VG. No Jacket. First US Edition. Gorgeous collection of 20 tales from Shakespeare's plays, retold in story form for all ages by British children's author Edith Nesbitt, with gorgeous pen-and-ink Victorian illustrations by Max Bihn throughout the 317 pages, along with his 4-color Frontispiece + 7 internal plates--all virtually flawless save for a tiny tear to bottom edge of plate pp. 182-183. Also includes a name pronunciation guide & several pages of famous quotations in rear. Orig. published in the UK in 1907 by Hertel, Jenkins, this is the FIRST US EDITION from D. E. Cunningham of Chicago, same year. Hardcover (6.75" x 9") has matte black cloth-covered boards blindstamped with an elaborate design to front cover & spine, lettered in faded green to both. Condition is VG: quite clean, binding strong & straight, hinges secure. Pages creamy white with moderate tanning, completely unmarked save for old gift inscription to verso of frontis.
