About the book

William Shakespeare's As You Like It is one of his most charming and inventive comedies. The story follows Rosalind, who is forced to leave the court and flee to the Forest of Arden. Disguised as a young man named Ganymede, she encounters Orlando, the man she loves, and uses her disguise to test and educate him in the ways of love. The play combines romance, mistaken identity, humour and philosophical reflection. Against the freedom of the forest, Shakespeare explores love, gender, friendship, exile and the contrast between courtly life and the natural world. It is also famous for the speech beginning "All the world's a stage," one of Shakespeare's best-known reflections on the stages of human life.
