I have a BA in English; so reading Shakespeare is easy for me; but this book was a gft. The recipient really enjoyed reading Shakespeare in plain English.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Whats with the copyright issue with the illustration on the kindle?By William G.Purchased the kindle version. Simple illustrations were omitted deliberately because of possible copyright infringements. I figure if I am purchasing the book; I should get the book; copyright and all.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Thespians- grab this version!By Crazy ChristopherI am performing this play coming up; and purchased this version of "Twelfth Night" to serve as a guide. First; physically; it is small enough not to be bulky as you carry it around onstage; but the text is still easily readable. Second; the modern text sits on the opposing page of the original; translating it line-by-line. This version even includes a character breakdown.I would recommend the "No Fear Shakespeare" editions to any actors preparing to perform the Bards plays to fully understand the text and to make it fun.
