ABOUT THIS BOOK

Infused with the magical world of fairies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of the early comedies
of Shakespeare about the entwined destinies of four lovers amid the spirit of nature. There is a
complex interlocking of plots as the play features the adventures of two young Athenian couples
who come to the woods as a part of their plan to elope from their houses. Rich with supernatural
elements and creative imagination, the play gives lyrical expressions to themes like love, dream and
blessings of nature on mankind—all in a lighter vein.

AUTHOR OF THE BOOK

William Shakespeare (26 April 1564–23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He
is widely regarded as England’s national poet and the ‘Bard of Avon’ and the world’s pre-eminent
dramatist. No writer’s living reputation can compare to that of Shakespeare, whose plays, written in
the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries for a small repertory theatre, are now performed
and read more often and in more countries than ever before.
