This graphic-novel version of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream is divided into five acts and includes a graphic list of the characters in the story.  This beautifully illustrated version represents the classic love story gone awry, as meddlesome characters interfere with each other’s relationships and a magic potion does its work.  Then when all seems lost, the magic reverses itself to straighten the lost path so that the lovers can find their way to each other again.
 

Magical creatures, fairies, mythical creatures and magic dust are sprinkled throughout the pages.  This is an enchanting retelling of one of Shakespeare's most famous comedies.

It also includes a glossary, Shakespeare’s biography, information about his birthplace, the history behind A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s Globe Theater, and a list of other titles in the series.
