Bedtime Stories with Taesha Glasgow
About this episode

Tonight's sleep story is Twelfth Night as retold by Edith Nesbit. You might know the story of twins, a shipwreck, and the love triangle of Orsino, Viola, and Olivia originally written by William Shakespeare. This adaptation by Edith Nesbit condenses and simplifies the story. If you're still awake, the stories are The Tempest, The Winter's Tale and Cymbeline.
