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.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, in 1564. The date of his birth is unknown but is celebrated on 23 April, which happens to be St George's Day, and the day in 1616 on which Shakespeare died.

Aged eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. They had three children. Around 1585 William joined an acting troupe on tour in Stratford from London, and thereafter spent much of his life in the capital. By 1595 he had written five of his history plays, six comedies and his first tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. In all, he wrote thirty-seven plays and much poetry, and earned enormous fame in his own lifetime in prelude to his immortality.

Lisbeth Zwerger

Lisbeth Zwerger has been accorded nearly every prize that can be given, including the highest international award for lifetime achievement, the Hans Christian Andersen Medal.

Since 1981 she has devoted her extraordinary talents to children's literature, to stories as charming and picturesque as her native Vienna.

Always surprising, always engaging, her artwork combines technical mastery with an insight and gentleness so rare and captivating that she has been correctly called one of the finest illustrators of the twentieth century.
