A Midsummer Night's Drama is a beautiful bedtime story for little bards which tackles the tricky problem of getting to sleep! The book is split into three acts and follows Bill the bear who has written a new play. After a very successful opening night, Bill is too excited to get to sleep. His friends try to help him drift off and suggest ways he could try to get to sleep. In the end a clever game by Sir Bun Bun works, and Bill is finally able to get some rest.

We've loved reading this book, it has lovely illustrations and its clever use of words hint at its Shakespearean background. There is a great part at the end of the book which looks at William Shakespeare and gives a bit of information about him and his work.
