Summary

"A classic Shakespearean tragedy, Romeo and Julit is the talke of two star-crossed lovers who dear to defiy their feuding families, put aside all obstacles, and find happiness together--but a a tremendous cost. This grimly beautiful tale, set in Renaissance Italy, follows Romeo and Juliet from their fateful first meeting to their last" -- Page [4] cover.

Notes

Item reads manga-style, right to left.

"Manga Classics books follow the Japanese comic (aka Manga!) reading order. Traditional manga is read in a 'reversed' format starting on the right and heading towards the left. The story begins where English readers expect to find the last page because the spine of the book is on the opposite side" -- Colophon.
