Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

80 pp. | Candlewick | January, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2258-3 $$17.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jane Ray. Alternating paraphrased prose with Shakespeare's original lines, this retelling of the story of ill-fated young lovers allows readers to follow the plot without sacrificing all of the Bard's eloquent language. Enhanced with touches of gold, Ray's romantic, jewel-hued art suits the play's tone and setting well. Students will find this straightforward adaptation easy to dramatize. A note on Elizabethan theater precedes the play.
