"Modern culture meets tradition in the delightful Manga Classics version of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, with text and illustrations by Lee Kyung-shin. The powerful, vibrant illustrations are complemented by the speech bubble dialogue which is studded with much of Shakespeare's original language. This offers a lovely means of bringing one of the best known love stories of all time to young people, in an easy to understand and attractive format."--The Scotsman on Sunday

"Plays are meant to be seen, not read. I think this is why so many young people can, and do, struggle with Shakespeare. Manga Classics Romeo and Juliet can certainly help with the visuals. The art is modern and colourful. Manga-style onomatopoeia is interspersed with Shakespearean language...I can see this text helping reluctant readers or those struggling to visualise a play as a supplement text."--The School Librarian

"...a great introduction to these classic tales. It has bite-sized text which is easy to follow and very accessible. These books would also be great for reluctant readers. This is such a fun way to read some classic books!"--@family_book_club
