Chiltern Publishing was formed in 2018 with a vision to create the most beautiful classics. Using a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques, 19th Century quality has met 21st Century technology. With wonderfully detailed covers, sparkling gilt edges, creamy pages, and stitched binding they are the most beautiful classics ever published.

Aging monarch King Lear decides to divide his domain between his three daughters, demanding professions of love from each before sharing out the spoils. Goneril and Regan flatter him out of self-interest, while virtuous, dutiful Cordelia refuses to engage in such shallow displays of affection, incurring her father’s displeasure. Lear’s folly exacts a heavy price in a play widely regarded as Shakespeare’s greatest achievement.
