Soria, Gabe. Fakespeare in the Park. New York?: Cartoon Network Books, 2016.I'm pretty much utterly nonplussed about this volume. I have no sense of the context for it. Occasionally, people write me and ask if they can send me something Shakespeare-related, and I generally say, "Sure." That's how this came my way.
It's a work of juvenile fiction published by Cartoon Network Books. And it may have something to do with something called The Regular Show.
I've tried to gain some quick context, and I gather that there's a blue jay and a raccoon. They work for the park service, and they're not very good at their jobs.
As near as I can tell, this is not a novelization of an actual event on the show. If it were, it would provide the context more easily and be more accessible to the causal, mildly-interested bystander.
If you know the show and are a fan, you may find this quite amusing. After a number of false starts and quirky setbacks, the characters are able to put on a play they call The Most Awsome Exploits of MacDeath, a Veteran Constable, and Juliet, his Squire. Here's a quick sample:
There you have it. If you know the show, you may like it; if you don't, you're likely to be nonplussed.
