Description: Student need to master the classics! With that in mind, we've assembled an absolutely amusing, age-appropriate annotated (wow, alliteration!) accessibly priced edition of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet for contemporary kids! This is not a "dumbed down" version of the Bard! This book faithfully follows the text as it appears in the Second Quarto. The notes simply place Will in a modern context, making him accessible and very funny! While providing educational insights, our Romeo and Juliet Red Reader performs the central intent of all Shakespearean plays to entertain the heck out of 'em!!! Surely, our poet would applaud our efforts, for it is the goal of all writers to be universally read and appreciated. As Ben Johnson wrote in his great elegy on Shakespeare, "He was not a man of an age, but for all time."
