Romeo and Juliet

For Valentine's day, tonight’s storytelling is the tragic love story of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. This retelling by Edith Nesbit is a love story about two young teenagers who fall in love with each other the first time they meet. However, the many years of conflict between their families requires them to remain enemies. Unfortunately their love does not resolve the feud between the families...and ultimately causes the young lovers to escape the world that has kept them apart.
