“This is a World Heritage site right here”. What else can be said that could better sum up the importance of Shakespeare’s First Folio? The English language as we know it today would not exist without this very book - it has laid down the foundations for the ways we tell stories, our turns of phrase, our metaphors, and allegories. It is more than a book; it is a pillar of world culture. Three cheers for 400 years of the First Folio!
