William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

38 pp. | Dial | October, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2462-4 $$16.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Dennis Nolan. A graceful prose retelling smoothly incorporates Shakespeare's own words into the text, creating a reader-friendly interpretation for those daunted by the original. The softly textured artwork captures the tale's romance but seems too studied to hold up to the more dramatic narrative passages. This well-crafted story will provide middle-grade readers with an accessible bridge to the Bard.
