Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A full-color graphic novel adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, pairing the complete original play text with vivid illustrations for classroom study and independent reading. This is the entire, unabridged play brought to life as a vivid and engaging full-color graphic novel. With its mix of real people who stumble into a fairy kingdom — with its own problems — it is little wonder that this play is one of the best loved and most performed of all Shakespeare’s masterpieces, and a firm favorite for outdoor theater on a warm summer’s evening. Hermia is in love with Lysander, but her father forbids them to marry, insisting that she marry Demetrius instead. Hermia and Lysander escape to the woods, pursued by Demetrius and Helena. Meanwhile, the king and queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titania, have quarreled. To spite Titania, Oberon instructs the mischievous Puck to use the juice of a magic flower to make her fall in love with the first thing she sees when she wakes. He also instructs Puck to apply the same magic to Demetrius so that he will fall in love with Helena. However, Puck gets it all wrong. This Original Text edition supports classroom study, independent reading, and guided discussion while preserving Shakespeare’s original language. Photocopiable teacher resources are also available to support lesson plans and classroom activities.
