Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series, this collection includes wonderful, cloth-bound, pocket-sized classic editions with gold-embossed edges and bookmarks. These beautiful books make ideal gifts or a delight for any book lover. This edition is illustrated by Sir John Gilbert and includes a preface by Dr. Robert Mighall. After being separated from her twin brother Sebastian following a shipwreck, Viola disguises herself as a boy to serve the Duke of Illyria. Trying to win the heart of a countess on his behalf, she is shocked to find herself the object of her affections. With the arrival of Viola's brother and a woven deceit against Malvolio, the countess's steward, confusion prevails in this romantic comedy of identity misunderstanding.
