The tender story of the young star-crossed lovers from warring families, \u003cb\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/b\u003e has moved audiences to tears for four hundred years. And Coville tells it in a way that will surely whet the appetite of young audiences, who will then find even greater enjoyment in the original. As with his earlier adaptations, Coville expertly combines his own dramatic language with key lines from the play. \u003cb\u003eDennis Nolan,\u003c\/b\u003e who illustrated Coville's version of \u003cb\u003eA Midsummer Night's Dream,\u003c\/b\u003e contributes stunning paintings, including a gatefold of the famous balcony scene.
