Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream like you've never seen it - or read it - before!

Classics in Graphics: A Midsummer Night's Dream has been adapted by expert authors, Steve Skidmore and Steve Barlow, and brought to life through the visual talents of illustrator Edu Coll. The magical fantasy is a comic delight on the page - as the lovers, the fairies and the actors bumble and trick their way through the forest.

Inclusion
is at the heart of this series, flinging wide the doors of literature for everyone to enter and understand. Including dyslexia-friendly design on every page, and encouraging readers to see themselves in iconic roles - casting spells, falling in love and winning duels.

  • snappy simplified text presenting Shakespeare's themes clearly
  • introductory materials to help set the scene and context of each well-known story
  • heaps of extra material at the back to keep the learning and fun going, including an exploration of themes in the play, the language, Shakespeare's inspirations, the publication and performance of the play in history, a time line of Shakespeare's life and works, and much more!

Macbeth
The Tempest
