MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM (COLLECTORS LIBRARY)

Gorgeous, strange and magical, this is perhaps the best loved of Shakespeare's plays. A young woman flees Athens with her lover, only to be pursued by her would-be husband and her best friend. 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. Illustrated throughout by artist Sir John Gilbert and includes an introduction by author Ned Halley. The Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of gift editions of classic titles.
