The course of true love never did run smooth… A magical retelling of Hermia, Helen, Demetrius and Lysander’s classic story – and of the impish fairy Puck, who meddles in their tangled web of love with hilarious consequences… With notes on Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre, and Love and Magic in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The tales have been retold using accessible language and with the help of Tony Ross’s engaging black-and-white illustrations, each play is vividly brought to life allowing these culturally enriching stories to be shared with as wide an audience as possible.
