Another charming outing for the characters introduced in The Boy, The Bear, The Baron, The Bard. As cute as ever, and with an enchanting setting in a tree. My library copy was signed by Gregory Rogers with 'faerie best wishes'.

The sequel to [b:The Boy, the Bear, the Baron, the Bard|1417813|The Boy, the Bear, the Baron, the Bard|Gregory Rogers|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1317792883l/1417813._SX50_.jpg|1408185] this wordless, graphic-nove is packed to the brim with adventure and Bardic references. Presented in a large hardback (lovely for sharing and pouring over for details), we follow an armoured, but cuddly looking bear as he leaves the Thames and enters Shakespeare's the world and characters of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Entering a magical forest he discovers a place of mystery and must work out who is causing fear and mayhem in the palace of the fairy king and queen.
Rogers must have spent an age thinking about perspective, pace and timing for they're all pitch perfect. Ideas, tension and moments of excitement are all captured with such grace and all without a single word. I don't think you need to know the play to enjoy this but it would make for a richer reading experience.
