About This Book

The action interweaves mortal and fairy realms: a father insists that his daughter obey an Athenian law about marriage, prompting her and her lover to flee into a nearby forest where supernatural quarrels intrude. The fairy sovereigns clash and a mischievous sprite administers a love potion that causes mistaken affections, comic confusions, and altered loyalties. At the same time a troupe of amateur actors rehearses a wedding entertainment. By morning enchantments are reversed or resolved, romantic pairings are restored, the fairy dispute is settled, and the human characters return to celebrate with a performed play.
