Gorgeous, strange and magical, A Midsummer Night's Dream is perhaps
the best-loved of Shakespeare's plays.
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning,
clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon
markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any
book lover. This edition is illustrated throughout by Sir John Gilbert,
and includes an introduction by Ned Halley.
A young woman flees Athens with her lover, only to be pursued by her
would-be husband and her best friend. Unwittingly, all four find
themselves in an enchanted forest where fairies and sprites soon take an
interest in human affairs, dispensing love potions and casting
mischievous spells. In this dazzling comedy, confusion ends in harmony,
as love is transformed, misplaced, and - ultimately - restored.
