This
charming re-telling of Shakespeare's play in story form makes an excellent gift
for adults and children to share. The beautifully illustrated 8 x 11" hard
cover volume will transport you to Shakespeare's world of courtly lovers,
enchanted forest, fairies, magical transformations, the romantic battle between
Titania and Oberon, and the comic antics of Puck, Bottom and the
Mechanicals.
Designed
for children ages seven to fourteen, the narrative contains many favorite
lines. This lyrical narrative will make a handsome addition to any book lover's
library. |
Praise for Midsummer
Stephanie
Shine,
Artistic Director Emeritis, Seattle Shakespeare Company - "A child who has this
book read to them as a first exposure to Shakespeare will undoubtedly go to the
theatre with enthusiasm to see A Midsummer Night's Dream and treat it as a
magical old friend."
Nancy Pearl, Book Lust, KUOW Radio 12/96 -
"(A) beautiful retelling of a Midsummer Night's Dream ...with wonderful
watercolor illustrations...a very good introduction to Shakespeare for kids. It
doesn't skimp on the Shakespeare quotes, but it makes the story accessible to
young people." |
