Publisher's Summary

In Shakespeare plays the tragic and the comic often fade into each other, turning into a harmonious blending of these two elements. Shakespeare takes a special delight in the employment of such harmonies. His tragedies never fail having their comic interludes, and his comedies often have a serious undertone. Still, the comic is not the tragic, and in this collection we offer some of the more humorous and witty tales from Shakespeare. 

The following Shakespeare adaptations are included here: A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It and Measure for Measure. Read in English, unabridged.
