PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bruce Coville's latest adaptation of one of the Bard's masterpieces, William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, illus. by Tim Raglin, will forsooth elicit applause-and laughter-from youngsters as it transports them to ancient Illyria where not all is as it appears. With an abundance of quotations from the original play plus smooth scene transitions, the accessible narrative reveals the plot's ample comical convolutions, put into merry motion with the shipwrecked Viola's decision to disguise herself as a young man to gain entry into the court of Duke Orsino. Raglin's earth-toned, etching-like art enhances the robust humor with its caricature portraits of the players.
Customer Reviews
Only Act 1
It looks beautiful on the page and the audio enhancement of scenes is great, but this is NOT the complete play - it is Act 1 only and no link to where you can get the rest of the text. It would be worth paying to upgrade to the complete version but as far as I can tell this is not an option.
