Entre comique et merveilleux, c'est avec les dessins d'Arthur Rackham que nous redécouvrons ici la comédie shakespearienne à la fantaisie débridée. Le temps d'une nuit, entre rêve et réalité, deux histoires d'amour s'entremêlent dans un décor presque magique où l'on rencontre le roi de la forêt et la reine des fées, tandis qu'en contrepoint se monte une pièce de théâtre aux traits burlesques dont la scène la plus célèbre est l'apparition de Bottom, affublée d'une tête d'âne, avec Titania, qui, par la magie du lutin Puck, en est tombée amoureuse.
