Book description
Robert Swindells's A Midsummer Night's Dream is set in a very
modern-day Yorkshire. Theseus, the neighbourhood tycoon is getting
married. Bottom and his mates are roped into putting on a play for the
wedding because, well, there's nothing much to do when you're on the
dole. But, before the wedding, there are young lovers with problems to
resolve ...and a drop of magic and mischief in the mix! The Shakespeare
Today series captures the magic of Shakespeare's text and sets it in an
accessible and contemporary style. Robert Swindells is a highly
successful writer for children and young adults. Several of his books
have won awards, including Stone Cold, which won the Carnegie Medal and
Nightmare Stairs and Blitzed, both Red House Children's Book Award
winners. His writing is exciting and contemporary, perfect for bringing
the drama of Shakespeare to life.
