London: H. Hamilton. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1982. First Edition. Hardcover. 0241108799 . "Just as nearly 400 years ago Shapespeare took his plots from earlier writers and historians, so does his unique power exercise its force and influence on today's writers. [...] If it be accepted that Mr W. S. Is the greatest writer of them all, it seemed an intriguing prospect to suggest to twenty of our best writers that they should each write a story inspired by and derived from Shakespeare."
