A Midsummer Night's Dream is part of the new Puffin Classics collection entitled STAGED, which features timeless tropes and enduring stories.

'The course of true love never did run smooth ...'

Hermia loves Lysander. But she must marry Demetrius or be condemned to life in a convent. Together, they plan to elope to escape their fate. However, Helena, Hermia's best friend, secretly loves Demetrius and, hoping to win his heart, tells him about the plan.

Soon, the four unlucky lovers cross paths with Oberon, the jilted fairy king. When a powerful, love-inducing flower is put to nefarious use, a case of multiple mistaken identities sets off a night of magic and mayhem that could change all of their lives forever.

This beautifully designed collection offers the complete and unabridged text, set in a dyslexic-friendly font and introduced by renowned YA authors. It is the perfect way to introduce young adult readers to Shakespeare's most iconic stories.

About the Author

William Shakespeare was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote about 38 plays (the precise number is uncertain), many of which are regarded as the most exceptional works of drama ever produced, including Romeo and Juliet (1595), Henry V (1599), Hamlet (1601), Othello (1604), King Lear (1606) and Macbeth (1606), as well as a collection of 154 sonnets, which number among the most profound and influential love poetry in English. Shakespeare died in Stratford in 1616.
