Publisher Description
Shakespeare's All's Well that Ends Well largely takes place in and around Paris, at the court of the King of France. Helena, the daughter of a talented and reputable doctor living in Rousillon, goes to Paris to attend to the king who is severely ill. Using her father's arts, she successfully cures him; in return he offers her the hand of any man of her choosing. She asks for Count Bertram, a man whom she has always loved, but he is appalled by the match and considers her too low born to be his wife. Though at first distraught, Helena is as resourceful as she is beautiful and contrives to make a good husband of Bertram.

About William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
