The inspiration for many operas, ballets, and paintings, William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is actually three stories in one—a love story, a tale of actors rehearsing and performing in a play, and a fairy tale about the king and queen of the fairies.
Illustrator Tom Tierney has dressed the characters in this comedy classic—Oberon, King of the Fairies; the mischievous Puck; Moth; and Peaseblosso—in apparel of Shakespeare’s time. Lovely, diaphanous robes comprise wardrobes for the lovely Titania, Queen of the Fairies; and for the charming woodland fairy figures—Hyssop, Sweet Violet, Chickweed, and Woodbine, who can be dressed in flowing gowns designed to reflect the forest’s wild flora.
Like the play which makes use of fairies and magic spells, this lovely collection of intriguing characters and their imaginatively rendered costumes will enchant Shakespeare devotees, fairy tale enthusiasts, and paper doll fans of all ages.
