Bookroo's summary

In Verona, Romeo and Juliet belong to two families locked in a bitter feud, yet they fall in love at first sight and marry in secret. Lisbeth Zwerger's illustrated retelling of Shakespeare's play tells the story for young readers and invites them to imagine a different ending.

From the publisher

The most beloved tale of young love in western literature is retold for young readers in this lushly illustrated edition, translated by Anthea Bell. Jewel tones, sweeping lines and Zwerger's subtle sense of humor add distinction to this retelling of the bard's timeless romance. And as a bonus, she invites the reader to imagine an alternate ending to Shakespeare's tragic tale.
