A beautfiul edition of this classic Shakespeare tragedy with 21 original illustrations and formatted to be easy-to-read.

King Lear is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare, most likely in l606. It depicts the gradual descent into madness of the title character, after he disposes of his kingdom by giving bequests to two of his three daughters egged on by their continual flattery, bringing tragic consequences for all. Derived from the legend of Leir of Britain, a mythological pre-Roman Celtic king, the tragedy is particularly noted for its probing observations on the nature of human suffering and kinship. George Bernard Shaw wrote, "No man will ever write a better tragedy than Lear."
