Shakespeare, William: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Illus by Arthur Rackham).Feb 2008

[Roy White]

A Midsummer Nights Dream.... I've wanted to read this for many years. I love Arthur Rackham so I Illustrated this with his work. When I was a kid we used to live in Ashland Oregon and me and my brother used to sneak down to the Ashland Shakespeare festival and try and sneak in. Shakespeare was always incomprehensible to me but I want to give it another shot now so I formatted this one with Rackhams art to add interest...

Oh.. Girl loves boy, has to marry another for political reasons, sneaks into forest, meets fairies and an unforgettable charater named Puck. Funny stuff happpens then trajic stuff happens... (I can hear the Shakespeare experts groaning at my glib 'synopsis' LOL!)

Enjoy

What fun, Roy! Rackham is perfect for A Midsummer Night's Dream. Thanks for this. I will be taking my third trip to Ashland this July, and Midsummer will be the first play on my bill. I will be seeing it with two young nephews who will certainly appreciate the art. Laurel
