Classics In Graphics: Shakespeares Romeo And Juliet

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, like you've never seen it—or read it—before! Classics in Romeo and Juliet have been adapted into a graphic novel by expert authors Steve Skidmore and Steve Barlow, with illustrations by Wendy Tan Shiau Wei. The epic, tragic love story reads like your favorite film on the page as Death stubbornly hovers over the heads of our star-crossed lovers. Classics in Graphics is a series of graphic novels for children aged 10 plus that has inclusion at its heart, flinging wide the doors of literature for everyone to enter and understand. Including dyslexia-friendly design on every page and encouraging readers to relate to these iconic roles—casting spells, falling in love, and winning duels. Each graphic novel includes pitch-perfect illustrations for presenting the tragic, the romantic, the comedic, and the magical, as well as snappy, simplified text presenting Shakespeare's themes clearly; introductory materials to help set the scene and context of each story; and heaps of extra material at the back to keep the learning and fun going, including an exploration of themes in the play, the language, Shakespeare's inspirations, the publication and performance of the play in history, a timeline of Shakespeare's life and works, and much more.
