In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, the character Viola disguises herself as a man named Cesario in order to be able to serve Duke Orsino, who she secretly loves. This plot point creates a number of dramatic possibilities, including the potential for mistaken identity and gender confusion. The playwright cleverly uses this disguise to explore themes of love, lust, and betrayal.

      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.
