Twelfth Night — Beverley Birch

Duke Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, but she will have none of him. It is only when the Duke sends his new page to plead with her on his behalf that the Lady becomes interested . . . in the page, Cesario. But Cesario has a secret, for he is a girl in disguise, and she has fallen in love with the Duke. A comic story of unrequited love and mistaken identity, Twelfth Night contains some of the most memorable characters in English literature. This short and accessible retelling captures the style of Shakespeare's original language.
