Romeo and Juliet In Plain and Simple English: (A Modern Translation and the Original Version)

My grandson home schools and without this book he would have failed Romeo and Juliet. It has the original words on one side of the book and a modern use of words on the opposite page. It made the language 100% understandable. Recommend for anyone who doesn’t get Shakespearean lingo ! Lol

I highly recommend this. This book is not 'perfect', I don't agree with all of the translations to modern English, however, it has been extremely helpful getting my teenage son both interested in and able to understand Romeo and Juliet. Each page has a modern English 'translation' shown side-by-side with the original text. It would be helpful to have this for all the Shakespeare plays.

Love it.Flip back and forth to gain a better understanding of the written word.Great for young people who have a hard time understanding old english.

This was required reading for my daughters English Honors class, and it really helped her understand the book. On each page there were two columns, one in Shakespeare's words, and the other column of the same page it was written in plain understandable English. I would recommend this to anyone (like me) who has a hard time understanding the language from that time period.

La novela me llegó tal cual como en las imágenes, recomiendo comprarla.

It's very hard for me to read old English, and I've always wanted to read this play. So I decided to suck it up and look for it on Amazon. Then when I saw this... Thank the Lord! Now I can easily read and enjoy this classsic.

More cheap then the library

I purchased this item for a class requirement. My ninth grader read the story and had no problem comprehending the complex story of Romeo and Juliet.
