Twelfth Night

Synopsis

A beautifully rendered interpretation of William Shakespeare's play "The Twelfth Night." This is the synopsis as taken from the back of the book. "'If Music be the food of love, play on!' It is Christmas in Illyria, but Countess Olivia's household is far from merry. Her lovelorn suitor pines for her in vain; her puritanical butler spreads chilly disapproval on her drunken uncle; and even her jester is sad. But when a set of twins are shipwrecked on separate parts of the coast, the comedy of confused identity and true love that follows melts the ice and warms things up. This original manga recreation of Shakespeare's most glittering seasonal comedy relocates the action to a steampunk-inspired 19th century- the era that invented the modern Christmas.
