Publisher Description
The course of true love never did run smooth...
A fairy king, his queen and their servants cause chaos and confusion between four young people in Ancient Greece... Listen on, through magic and mischief, to discover the hilarious story at the heart of A Midsummer Night's Dream, one of Shakespeare's best-loved plays.
As well as the story, this audiobook contains information about the background to A Midsummer Night's Dream, its major themes, language, and Shakespeare's life during the time he was writing the play. Fairies and fairy folklore in 16th century England are also examined, to give the context in which the play was written.
The Short, Sharp Shakespeare series consists of six books that retell Shakespeare's most famous plays in modern English. Fun sound effects and atmospheric music accompany each narration, making them a great introduction to "the Bard" for children.

It’s good but short
It was good but could be over
2 hours and more quiz questions ,
*Great for Children*
This short story is about my favourite tale by Shakespeare, about the King and Queen of the fairies, magical spells and misunderstandings, ideal and aimed for children aged 9 and above. I would not suggest this as a trip down memory lane as it does not flow as story as such but more of an an explanation of the story which is its purpose. There is an explanation of the language used by Shakespeare and a quiz at the end. Fun for kids
This was the audio version but the physical book I hear contains some beautiful artwork by Tom Morgan-Jones.
You won’t believe this!
This story is absolutely amazing! With her voice and... the advanced vocabulary. This is a fire story.
SHAKESPEARE IS THE BEST
