John Allen, ed.
Three Medieval Plays: The Coventry Nativity Play; Everyman; The Farce of Master Pierre Pathelin.
Published London: Heinemann Educational Books, 1963 reprint (previously issued 1953).
Series: The Drama Library.
[No ISBN].
Binding: hardback, stitch bound; printed boards, no dustjacket.
Printer: Bookprint Ltd., Kingswood.
Size: 128x189x12mm.
Page count: xi,43,40,54pp (each play is paginated individually).
Main language: English (in the first two plays the original language is rendered in modern English, though retaining original words "when the medieval word has no modern equivalent"; the third is translated into modern English prose, though retaining the occasional cod-French phrase).
Overall condition fair to good: the boards on this copy are rather grubby, a little yellowed with age, and rubbed at the edges and corners; at least one page has some pencilled ticks in the margins.
