Oxford Progressive English Readers Level 2: a Midsummer Night´s Dream and Other Stories

One midsummer night, two lovers run away to the wood. There they find two other lovers - but what they don't know is that the wood is full of magical people: the fairies and elves. When a naughty elf decides to play a trick, everything becomes very mixed up. The four stories in this book are about things becoming mixed up. In one story, Viola dresses as a man to become the servant of a prince, and then falls in love with him. In another story, two girls dress up as men, and go to find a prince who lives in a forest. They have many adventures on the way...Here, too, you can read the famous story of the young lovers, "Romeo and Juliet", who cannot live in peace, because their families hate each other.
