'In Midsummer Days, and Other Tales' is a collection of short stories written by August Strindberg. More than ten stories are featured inside, some of them being 'Half a Sheet of Foolscap', 'Conquering Hero and Fool', 'The Mystery of the Tobacco Shed', and 'Little Bluwing Finds the Goldpowder'.

Midsummer's Night is a town like no other, a place molded around its supernatural inhabitants. Their resident guardian is a vampire, the local doctor is a werewolf, the mechanic is a goblin, and the biggest troublemakers around are a pair of half-faerie brothers who also grow the best fruits and vegetables to be found. It's a town where a scared, homeless werewolf can stop wandering, an aimless werewolf finds an unexpected home in the local mechanic, and the sheriff is a witch with a preference for men in beautiful clothes and elaborate make-up, and the sweet little baker boy is naughtier than anyone ever could have guessed...

Midsummer--or the summer solstice--occurs when the sun is at the height of its power, the faeries are most active, and the future can be uncovered with ease. Shakespeare even captured the mischief of the occasion in his play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream." This book explores Midsummer customs and bears witness to their power today.
