Twelfth Night Manga Shakespeare by Nana Li

Well illustrated and using the conventions of Manga expression to bring out the nuances in Shakespeare's text this is a great introduction to Twelfth Night for anyone who finds reading a play text difficult.  Li brings to life the comedy of the play, graphically showing the anarchic sense of fun that was current in Shakespeare's time.   The drawing is achingly beautiful, I'm not sure who I'm more in love with!
