Reviewing a book that's a summary of something else is always weird, but abridged versions of things got me into reading early, so I have a soft spot for them. This is also one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, so you know. This book summarizes Twelfth Night in very plain language that's easy to follow, and seems strongly geared towards younger readers. It even manages to untangle some of the complexities of the plot very clearly. Illustrations are numerous, and have all the dramatic flair of stage actors playing for the back row. A good springboard to introduce someone to Shakespeare early.
