Christmas Reading since 1955

One of my mother's friend was a children's librarian who sent us a box of fabulous books every Christmas. This one, Frogmorton, is a Christmas story with drawings by Ernest Shepard, the illustrator of the Winnie the Pooh books before they got Disneyfied. Frogmorton gets carefully put away with the Christmas decorations and brought out again every year. Does anybody else remember this book?

A bold retelling of the bard's clssaic with a subtle Cantonese flavour. Weep with Juliet as she pines for her errant lover-cum-house-robber, Romeo Wong. Gasp in amazement as Mercutio and Romeo fight to the death. Look on in bemused wonder at how Prospero and Banquo found their way into the play. Humorous, lively dialogue and a soundtrack that ranges from greensleeves to Monty Python makes this a true feast for the ears. The acting is sublime and this reviewer hopes to see more of these promising young troubadors. Three thumbs up!
