📗 Libro en inglés A MIDSUMMER NIGHT S DREAM

From the hilarious mischief of the elf Puck to the rough humor of the self-centered Bottom and his fellow players, from the palace of Theseus in Athens to the magic wood where fairies play, Shakespeare’s marvelous A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a play of enchantment and an insightful portrait of the predicaments of love.

"The volumes in this series will enrich any library that stocks editions of individual Shakespearean plays. [Included are] introductory essays and on-page annotations that aid the reader in vocabulary, usage of Elizabethan English, pronunciation, alternative readings of phrases and lines, and prosody, i.e. metric structure or accents . . . . Especially helpful are definitions of common words that have changed meanings over the past four hundred years . . . ."—Judith McGowan (American Association of School Librarians)
