A Midsummer Night’s Dream

This is a graphic novel by Nol Yomtov and Berenice Muniz retelling Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  This version provides the basic storyline of the original but is stripped of the details and period language.  There is a helpful pictorial character guide in the front of the book.  In the back is a short biography about William Shakespeare, a brief history of the play as well as some discussion questions, writing prompts and notes about Shakespearean language.  The illustrations are colorful and expressive.  Hopefully this book will inspire readers to delve into the original play to discover the richness to be found there.
