The Story Orchestra A Midsummer Nights Dream

Enter an enchanted woodland where fairies and magic turn a night into a wonderfully confusing adventure. This Story Orchestra book introduces A Midsummer Night's Dream alongside musical extracts from Mendelssohn, giving the illustrated scenes an expressive atmosphere of their own. Families can enjoy the imaginative setting together while discovering how music suggests mystery, mischief and celebration, making a famous story and composition feel approachable through pictures, words and sound.

Age suitability and learning: Preschool (3-5), Primary (6-8). The combination of story, illustration and music suits shared reading and children beginning to listen more closely to composed music. Following events supports comprehension and vocabulary; noticing how the musical passages relate to the scenes encourages attentive listening, imagination and awareness of mood.
