Description:

Mistaken identities, secret crushes, and laugh-out-loud confusion fill the pages of this beautifully abridged and illustrated retelling of Shakespeare's most delightful comedy, brought to young readers by Wonder House Books' Shakespeare's Greatest Stories series. After a terrible shipwreck separates twins Viola and Sebastian, the resourceful Viola disguises herself as a young man named Cesario and finds work at the court of Duke Orsino. There she's sent to deliver love messages on the duke's behalf to the beautiful Lady Olivia — but the plan goes hilariously wrong when Olivia falls for "Cesario" instead, and Viola finds herself secretly head-over-heels for the duke! Add in a pranking butler, a merry knight, and a long-lost twin brother who looks exactly like Viola, and the muddle is complete. With simplified language and lively illustrations, this joyful introduction to the Bard celebrates love, laughter, and happy endings.
