I liked puck who's a little elf, and caused some trouble. He was suppose to give the love potion to Titania but instead he gave it to Lysander which made him love Helena who didn't! i would recommend this book to people who like comedy. I found it intresting but you might find it funny!

I quite like this book because it was short and interesting. I liked how the suspense built up in the story. I would recommend this book to 8 to 9-year-olds.

It was funny especially when Helena fell out of the tree. My favourite character was Tiarna the fairy queen.
Madam Candyfloss Pinkerton 26.07.2020
I liked this version because it made the original story easier to understand. I would recommend this story for anyone starting to read Shakespeare. My favourite character was the Elf spirit, Puck, because he was cheeky and mischievous.
