Andrew Airpump askd his Aunt her ailment; Davy Dolldrum dreamd he drove a Dragon; Jumping Jackey jeerd a Jesting Juggler; and Rory Rumpus rode a raw-bond Race-horse among other antics in this antique alphabet of tongue twisters.Originally published in 1836; this charming collection of whimsical rhymes was redesigned 100 years later by some of the twentieth centurys most celebrated typographers. The artists volunteered their services and worked independently of each other; resulting in a captivating pastiche in which the verses are rendered in a variety of typefaces and accompanied by woodcuts; line drawings; and other black-and-white illustrations.

The footnotes and definitions are great. and really helpful when it comes to understanding the text. If youre reading the play for fun or just to get an idea of the story. then this version is fine.However (and this is a big "however"). the punctuation has been changed from the original text. For some purposes. thats no big deal. But since punctuation is so important to take into account when studying and performing Shakespeares works. I would not recommend this to anyone taking a college class on Shakespeare or performing in the play. I bought this edition because Im doing a monologue from the play and needed context. but I ended up having to copy the monologue itself out of a different edition because the punctuation in this one was wrong.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Highly recommended not only for the vast textual notes and introductory ...By jmsv617What sets this edition of "Alls Well..." apart is the very wothrwhile essay from Mr. McCandless contained in the back of the book. Mr. McCandless essay comes a long way in helping readers understand the seemingly inexplicable heel-face turn of Bertram at the end of the play. Highly recommended not only for the vast textual notes and introductory passages. as all Folger Shakespeare editions contain. but especially for the enlightening essay by Mr. McCandless.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fun. fun read!!!By ChrissyLoved this Shakespearen play. It was a fun read. It arrived quickly and in good condition. This particular play is about love. pride. and the fall.
