Reviews
Modern culture meets tradition in the delightful Manga Classic 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.
