Pocket of Dog Snogging, the illustrious foul-mouthed Fool from Moore's previous Shakespearean antics in Fool and The Serpent of Venice returns in a lively but skewed romp through "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Pocket has landed in Greece after being set adrift by his pirate crew with his Fool's Apprentice, Drool and a monkey with a kinky penchant for hats. He lands in the middle of a mystery because someone has killed Robin Goodfellow aka Puck. The rest of the cast from "AMND" are there as well as a full compliment of Amazons, Fairies, and Goblins. When Drool is imprisoned Pocket must use his wits to solve the murder and the source for the magic that turned Bottom into a donkey and caused Titania to fall in love with the donkey headed workman. Silly and fun. I enjoyed this one more than "Serpent" but Fool is still my favorite in the series. Creative profanity and non-explicit sex abound. No spoilers, so I won't reveal the squirrel connection.
