description: A retelling of Shakespeare's play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream". It is part of a series of titles which are designed to introduce children to Shakespeare, but can also be used as revision aids. The main characters and key events are brought to life in the simplified story and pictures, and the short extracts from the original play focus on key speeches in Shakespeare's language. Each title in the series is set out into acts in the same way as the original play, although the story is told in narrative text with only key speeches remaining in the original form. A portrait gallery of key characters is included for easy reference.
