Description
One of the most magical and uplifting of Shakespeare's plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream is a celebration of love and all its joys.
Escaping the Athenian court to marry, Hermia and Lysander take refuge in a nearby wood. There, too, are Helena and Demetrius and the King and Queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titania. Oberon orchestrates a series of mischievous and magical tricks by which love is transformed, misplaced, deceived, revealed and, finally, restored.
This edition of the text includes notes, a glossary and an introduction.

I disliked this enough to forget to mark it as read. This one really was too annoying with its depiction of "love" and women that I was just having a terrible time pushing through very questionable thought processes and dialogues. It's disappointing since I thought this could be a new favorite (given my love for fairies/fae folk since childhood)
