More About This Title Shakespeare's Tales: A Midsummer Night's Dream
English
As midsummer approaches, no one seems to be able to think straight about love. Not Helena hopelessly pursuing Demetrius, not the workmen rehearsing a romantic play for the celebrations, nor the Fairy King and Queen in their angry rivalry. Only the magic of midsummer's night can resolve this emotional madness. A comic story of confused lovers, pedantic actors, and jealous fairies, A Midsummer Night's Dream contains some of the most memorable characters in English literature. This short and accessible retelling captures the style of Shakespeare's original language.

English
"Birch's detailed, scene-by-scene narrative goes beyond study guides and plot summaries to stay true to the drama and the characters' complexity and evoke some of the richness and cadence of Shakespeare's language." —Booklist
