In this episode of Literary Lullabies, we journey into the whimsical world of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," as retold by Charles and Mary Lamb in their classic "Tales From Shakespeare." The enchanting story unfolds with mischievous fairies, star-crossed lovers, and a hilariously muddled play within a play. Tune in for a charming and accessible rendition of Shakespeare's timeless tale, perfect for listeners of all ages.
