Lit for Little Hands, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," is a marvelous rendition of William Shakespeare's play. It's a story of love and fantasy. Had it not been for this Little Libraries acquisition, I would have never know Shakespeare wrote about supernaturalism.
This gem of a book contains original lines from the play and lots of interactive elements for the very young and those with youthful hearts.
Many centuries ago in Athens, Hermia and Lysander were riding the waves of tangible love and romance, but the girls father wanted her to marry Demetrious, so she runs away with Lysander. The king and queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titana and their fairy servant Puck get involved. Mixing magical flowers into a love potion causes Lysander to fall in love with his lovers best friend Helena and thus the conflict begins.
Adapted by Brooke Jorden and illustrated by Olga Skomorokhova, this children's tale of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is four and a half stars easy and it's going back in a Little Libraries for others to enjoy.
