Excellent book!
The No Fear series allows quick understanding! I was going back and forth between reading the original first, and reading the modern first. Either way I read it, it made it easier to understand, faster to read, and very enjoyable.

Unexpected enchantment
I love the works of Shakespeare but I've always thought that children under the age of 11 or 12 wouldn't be able to grasp the complexity both of the stories and of the language. Well, thank goodness Lois Burdett has come to our rescue! It has been her labor of love ...

Ill met by moonlight, proud reader?
I must say that until I saw a simple, highschool play of this particular work, I was deathly afraid of SHakespeare, thinking it boring and only something for people over fifty to discuss and teach. WEll, i was wrong. This particular story brings in classical ...

" What mortal fool we are"
A midsummer Night's Dream has a lot of spunk!! I think it was a little difficult to understand all of what they were saying sometimes but watching the movie really put in prospective for me. I thought is was one of those mudhy ushy love stories where they fall in ...

Death in Midsummer: And Other Stories
Yukio Mishima
New Directions Publishing Corporation

Very impressive
A friend recommended Mishima to me, and this was the book I picked up. First, to respond to a reviewer below, this book (at least my copy) has no introduction, no preface, no afterward, and has numerous translators. The stories were selected by Mishima himself, and the ...
