Romeo and Juliet: Graphic Novel by William Shakespeare (author)

The hatred between the Capulets and the Montagues is well known in Verona. In spite of this, love blossoms between two of their young offspring, Romeo and Juliet. A brawl between the kinsmen of the Houses leads to Romeo’s exile, and soon fate and ill-judgement combine to play out the lovers’ tragic doom… This stunning graphic adaptation retells a timeless story in language that is simple yet Shakespearean, and art that powerfully recreates 16th-century feudal Italy. A story of ill-fated lovers whose untimely deaths unite two feuding families, Romeo and Juliet has become the archetype of young love destined to meet a tragic end.
