Shakespeare’s First Folio: All the Plays, A Children’s Edition
£30.00
Published in association with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s First Folio, this is the first-ever illustrated children’s edition. This sumptuously illustrated book, with beautiful and highly detailed artwork by Emily Sutton, includes all 36 plays in the original volume.
The plays preserve Shakespeare’s original dramatic language, but have been abridged so they can be performed by a minimum of eight children in under twenty minutes. The perfect accessible introduction to Shakespeare in his own words for a child, this is a very special gift book that will be returned to time and time again.

Emily Sutton Artist
Emily Sutton studied at Edinburgh College of Art and Rhode Island School of Design, graduating in 2008. With a keenly observant eye, Yorkshire born Emily is known for her distinctive style of highly detailed illustrative work.
Based in York, Emily takes inspiration from the wildlife and landscape of her surroundings and from her home which is filled with collections of curiosities unearthed from antique and junk shops and car boot finds, evidence of her fascination with folk art, Victoriana and mid-twentieth century artists such as Edward Bawden. These personal treasures; bits of crockery, wind-up toys, etc., are transformed from the everyday and ordinary into the extraordinary through Emily’s drawings, prints and embroidered work. The magical world Emily creates is also perfect for use as book illustrations, which has resulted in collaborations with publishers such as Walker Books, Penguin and Faber & Faber and authors such as Nicola Davis.
Emily Sutton has had major solo exhibitions at Yorkshire Sculpture Park and The Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh.
