A Midsummer Night’s Dream

William Shakespeare

This picture-book retelling adapts Shakespeare’s comedy of love, mistaken identity, and enchantment. The story includes Theseus and Hippolyta’s approaching marriage, four Athenian lovers in conflict, and amateur actors preparing a wedding performance. In a forest, fairies interfere with the human characters. Vibrant watercolor illustrations accompany the intersecting plots, bringing the play’s lovers, performers, fairies, and magical confusion into picture-book form.
