Description
Shakespeare Country by Peter Whelan is a modern retelling of A Midsummer Night's Dream. An American country singer travels to Stratford-on-Avon in search of proof that he is a descendant of the famous playwright. In this updating of the story, the boundaries between reality and fantasy are blurred as the singer navigates the town's rich literary heritage. As he searches for answers about his family history, he becomes embroiled in a complex web of relationships and misunderstandings. This book offers a fresh take on a timeless story, exploring the enduring power of Shakespeare's legacy in modern life.
