“You're a little tall to play Ariel." said Moth. "Don't be ridiculous," Peaseblossom said with a sniff. Some of my favorite quotes are from them: Don't they always? Always quick with wit, word, deed and cakes, the fairies Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Moth and Mustardseed left me in stitches for a good part of the book.
I admit I held a predisposed affection for the chivalrous pirate, but Ariel's mercurial moods and loyalty to Bertie still left me gasping. No two sides of a coin could be more different, as far as that goes. The love interests of Nate (a pirate from The Little Mermaid) and Ariel (the air spirit from The Tempest) tore at my heart evenly. No seemingly small character was not used in some fashion. The character introduced were, in no way, flat or ignorable. I stayed up late into the night reading further and further into Bertie's (Beatrice Shakespeare Smith's) world. I fell into this series headlong at the request of a friend a few years ago. She has a firm grasp of The Bard, the inner workings of the theatre and delights in all things magical, mystical and mysterious. Beatrice Shakespeare Smith is not one of them, but they are her family.Įyes Like Stars, Perchance To Dream and So Silver Bright mark the series of Théâtre Illuminata, written by Lisa Mantchev. They were born to play their parts, and are bound to the Théâtre by The Book-an ancient and magical tome of scripts. Welcome to the Théâtre Illuminata, where the characters of every play ever written can be found behind the curtain.
