  Twelfth Night

  William Shakespeare

  A sparkling comedy of mistaken identity, romantic entanglements, and playful deception, Twelfth Night is one of William Shakespeare's most delightful and enduring works. Set in the imagined land of Illyria, this lively play blends humor, music, and heartfelt emotion in a story that celebrates love in all its unpredictable forms.
  
  The tale begins with a shipwreck that separates twins Viola and Sebastian. Believing her brother lost at sea, Viola disguises herself as a young man named Cesario in order to serve Duke Orsino. The Duke, consumed by his unreturned affection for the Countess Olivia, sends Cesario to plead his case on his behalf. But the situation quickly grows complicated: Olivia falls in love with Cesario, unaware that he is actually Viola in disguise, while Viola herself secretly develops feelings for Orsino.
  
  As identities blur and affections tangle, the play unfolds in a whirlwind of comic misunderstandings. Alongside the central love triangle, a spirited subplot features the pompous steward Malvolio, who becomes the target of a mischievous prank that tests his vanity and ambition. Through these intersecting stories, Shakespeare creates a vibrant world filled with wit, longing, and joyful chaos.
  
  At its heart, Twelfth Night explores themes of identity, gender roles, desire, and the transformative power of love. The play challenges rigid boundaries between appearance and reality, showing how disguise can both conceal and reveal the truth. Its festive spirit reflects the holiday season for which it is named—a time when conventions are overturned and laughter reigns.
  
  With memorable characters, lyrical dialogue, and sparkling humor, Twelfth Night remains one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies. It balances lighthearted romance with deeper reflections on longing and self-discovery, offering a timeless celebration of the human heart.
  
  Charming, witty, and endlessly entertaining, Twelfth Night invites readers and audiences alike to lose themselves in a world where love triumphs over confusion and joy emerges from delightful disorder.

  Edith Nesbit - Six of the Best –...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  Twas the Night Before Christmas has been called "arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American" and is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today. It has had a massive effect on the history of Christmas gift-giving. Before the poem gained wide popularity, American ideas had varied considerably about Saint Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors. A Visit from St. Nicholas eventually was set to music and has been recorded by many artists.
