About the book

William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is an enchanting comedy in which the human and magical worlds collide. Four young lovers escape into a forest outside Athens, where their romantic difficulties become even more complicated through the interference of Oberon, Titania, Puck and the fairies. At the same time, a group of amateur actors prepares a wonderfully inept theatrical performance, with the unfortunate Bottom magically transformed into a creature with a donkey's head. Combining romance, fantasy, mistaken identity and comedy, the play explores love as an irrational and unpredictable force.
