Publisher's full green cloth with gilt embossed design with a jester on the cover, gilt lettering on cover and spine. Illustrated with 40 tissue protected, tipped-in color plates by W. Heath Robinson. "A very handsome volume. Mr. Robinson's illustrations, numbering forty in all, are effective in colouring and design ; the paper and print are of the sumptuous kind ; altogether, the form is worthy of the matter. We must not forget that there is an "argument" of the play, extending to twenty-four pages, the work of Mr. Quiller- Couch. This anticipation of the plot of the drama is according to venerable precedent, and is certainly to be welcomed when it is the work of so skilful a hand as that of Mr. Quiller-Couch.. The text, we should say, is that of the Oxford edition.". Front cover has a large ink spill, head and heel of spine and tips are rubbed, upper tip of front cover is bumped, water stain to top edge not affecting any plates or text, else unmarked, tight, square, and clean. VERY GOOD-.. Color Plates. Small 4to 9" - 11" tall. xxiv, 144 pp. Very Good- with No dust jacket as issued .
