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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe soon stumbles into the wooded realm of fairies and goblins, ruled by 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith too many suspects and too little time, Pocket must solve this hilarious whodunit, save his neck, and ensure that all ends well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rollicking tale of love, magic, madness, and murder, \u003ci\u003eShakespeare for Squirrels\u003c\/i\u003e is a humorous fantasy and Midsummer Night’s noir—a wicked and brilliantly funny good time conjured by the singular imagination of Christopher Moore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow Large Print","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46831044198655,"sku":"9780062999955","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780062999955_s600x595.jpg?v=1780333686","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780062999955","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
