Patton is an obvious standout and the voice of the demon was well done. Stevens is not my favorite (sry) but favorite characters abound none the less. Now I'm just waiting for the rest of the series to come up. The pacing is perfect, the descriptions really bring you there, this is a magical vacation. The other magical creature preserve they visit is spectacular. The whole series is a must read but this one in particular has a few of my favorite elements.
This is a must for children or anyone for that matter. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? The third is that MND has been rewritten to suit a specific era and audience.Love Fablehaven!!! These books are fantastic fun! The second is that adaptations of MND have been influenced for the past 200 years by education in one way or another, either for pedagogic use or as metatheatrical device, ensuring an increasing variety of adaptations. I argue three points: The first is that the prestige of Shakespeare has been systematically and consistently reinforced in each generation echoing his development from England’s greatest writer to an international icon. This project covers seven time periods (with a chapter devoted to each): 1800 to 1840 (The Beginning) 1850 to 1910 (The Golden Age), 1919 to 1939 (Between the Wars) 1940 to 1959 (Post War Recovery) 1960 to 1979 (Performance Adaptations) 1980 to 1989 (Shakespeare in Schools) and 1990 to 1999 (End of a Millennium). Comparing a wide variety of texts in the context of the time they were written has been neglected, as has the comparison of texts in different eras. This project represents an under-discussed field of Shakespeare studies. The third is the tendency of treatments to reflect the eras in which they were produced. The second is the growth in the variety of adaptations of Shakespeare for children. The first is the evolution of Shakespeare, in terms of his reputation and literary prestige. From my analysis of forty- two adaptations for children of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, covering a period of almost two hundred years, three distinct trends have emerged. The purpose of my thesis has been to establish the reasons for adapting Shakespeare for children in the modern age and to see if adaptations are influenced by the time they are written.
