Step into a world of love, mischief, and fairy magic in this classic Shakespearean comedy, retold as an accessible and engaging graphic novel.

As Duke Theseus prepares for his grand wedding, four young lovers flee into the forest – only to stumble into the quarrels of Oberon and Titania, king and queen of the fairies. With Puck's mischievous magic stirring up confusion, mistaken identities, and transformations, the night becomes one of tangled love stories, foolish antics, and enchanting surprises.

Faithfully adapted from Shakespeare's original text and brought vividly to life with full-colour artwork, this edition makes one of literature's greatest masterpieces approachable and enjoyable for a new generation. A running glossary supports readers with challenging vocabulary, while dynamic illustrations capture all the wit, wonder, and humour of the original play.
