The Young Reader’s Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
FROM SARAH:
This is an absolute favorite. It’s a bit longer than other versions, and divided into chapters, but excellent illustrations are provided along the way. Easy to follow, delicious to read aloud, contains plenty of Shakespeare’s original language, and captures (better than most retellings) the real comedy of the play. Might be out-of-print, but worth searching for! Great for ages 6+.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Humorous, romantic, and thoroughly enchanting, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s most delicious confections. Now, with this stunningly illustrated and accessible retelling, his gossamer tale of mixed-up love among humans and fairies will captivate today’s young readers.
