The comedy and tragedy intertwine when two very different couples fall in and out of love in Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing." This edition is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library series, featuring beautiful, striking classics in a pocket-sized, clothbound format, with gold edges and ribbon markers. Perfect for gifts or any book lover, this edition includes illustrations by the distinguished artist Sir John Gilbert and an introduction by Professor Tiffany Stern. While Beatrice and Benedick disdain love, exchanging insults and mockery instead of promises, for Hero and Claudio it's love at first sight. But as preparations for their wedding begin, so do the undermining moves of Don John. Can his machinations hinder true love? And can a complex scheme bring the passionate Beatrice and the cynical Benedick closer together? In "Much Ado About Nothing," one of Shakespeare's most popular plays, nothing is as it seems.
