Undoubtedly the greatest love story ever written, Romeo and Juliet has inspired countless stage and screen adaptations. A young man and woman meet by chance and instantly fall in love, but their families are bitter enemies, so the two lovers must risk everything to be together.

This edition is illustrated throughout by the renowned artist Sir John Gilbert (1817–1897) and includes an introduction by Ned Halley. It belongs to the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of beautiful gift editions of much-loved classic titles.
