(3) 4-6 Retold by Lisbeth Zwerger. Translated by Anthea Bell. Illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger. Western literature's most famous love story is retold in conversational prose, with brief excerpts from the play incorporated and highlighted in red type. A master colorist, Zwerger's full-page jewel-toned watercolors are sparely drafted, allowing the reader's imagination to fill in details, even as spot art of dying roses foreshadow the conclusion. A final spread ponders an alternate ending for the couple.
