A Shakespeare Story: Midsummer Night's Dream

“Though she be but little, she is fierce”
Regarded as “an excellent introduction to Shakespeare for the junior reader” by The School Librarian, this is the perfect starting point to explore this iconic tale of love, fairies.. and a donkey.

Shakespeare's enduring characters are set adrift in present-day Athens, but a present with a massive difference - an alternative history. Rigid class systems and 'god given' monarchies of the past have not been lost. Modern technologies meet ancient tradition; and the citizens of Athens are frustrated by continuing restrictions and hierarchies. Only the forest, home to the fairies and fey spirits can offer the illicit lovers what they seek.
