William Shakespeare Twelfth Night retold by Georghia Ellinas illustrated by Jane Ray

 My favorite aspects of this retelling of Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare are the bold illustrations and the oversized book. The retelling is a bit stilted. Also, the pronoun switch (from she/her to he/him) for Viola, who is disgused as a man, Cesario,may be a bit confusing. BUT the original story is confusing, so it is a challenge for anyone to retell it well for a younger audience!

I am glad I have it in my collection. (I own this book.)
