| Illustrator Tom Tierney has dressed the characters in this comedy classic – Oberon, King of the Fairies; the mischievous Puck, Moth, and Peaseblossom – in apparel of Shakespeare's time. Lovely, diaphanous robes comprise wardrobes for the lovely Titania, Queen of the Fairies; and for the charming woodland fairy figures -- Hyssop, Sweet Violet, Chickweed, and woodbine, who can be dresses in flowing gowns designed to reflect the forest's wild flora.
Like the play, which makes use of fairies and magic spells, this lovely collection of intriguing characters and their imaginatively rendered costumes will enchant Shakespeare devotees, fairy tale enthusiasts, and paper doll fans of all ages.
The book contains 9 dolls and 14 plates of costumes.
Book specifications: paperback, 32 pgs., 9 1/4 in. x 12 1/4 in.
