But the island is in turmoil. Egeus, the Duke's minister, is furious that his daughter Hermia is determined to marry Demetrius, instead of Lysander, the man he has chosen for her. The Duke decrees that if, by the time of the wedding, Hermia still refuses to marry Lysander, she shall be executed . . . or consigned to a nunnery. Pocket, being Pocket, cannot help but point out that this decree is complete bollocks, and that the Duke is an egregious weasel for having even suggested it. Irritated by the fool's impudence, the Duke orders his death. With the Duke's guards in pursuit, Pocket makes a daring escape. He soon stumbles into the wooded realm of the fairy king Oberon, who, as luck would have it, IS short a fool. His jester Robin Goodfellow--the mischievous sprite better known as Puck--was found dead. Murdered. Oberon makes Pocket an offer he can't refuse: he will make Pocket his fool and have his death sentence lifted if Pocket finds out who killed Robin Goodfellow. But as anyone who is even vaguely aware of the Bard's most performed play ever will know, nearly every character has a motive for wanting the mischievous sprite dead. With too many suspects and too little time, Pocket must work his own kind of magic to find the truth, save his neck, and ensure that all ends well. 541 $d 20220725. 600 1 $a Shakespeare, William $d 1564-1616 $v Fiction. 650 $a Fools and jesters $v Fiction. 650 $a Kings and rulers $v Fiction. 650 $a Murder $v Fiction. 650 $a Fairies $v Fiction. 651 $a Greece $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 6 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409035007.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314020731.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012023359.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210023014.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909061242.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20220804030901.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F16B18213BB11ED9C55A27642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
