From School Library Journal Grade 5-8-Skillfully read by Claire Higgins, Shakespeare''s Romeo and Juliet will hold listeners spellbound as they become involved in the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues and in Romeo and Juliet''s plight of love. Higgins'' reading is very natural, and her voice is exceedingly pleasant to listen to. The cassette includes a plot summary, an introduction to Shakespeare by Leon Garfield, as well as supplementary information about Shakespeare and his writings by Dr. Rex Gibson, all read by Simon Russell Beale. This additional information is very worthwhile and will increase the listener''s understanding of Shakespeare and why he continues to be important in literature. Peter Hutchins arranged the period background music. The technical qualities are excellent, and the teaching objectives are met. This program is appropriate for individual or group listening, and the additional information will provide an excellent springboard for discussion. A superior acquisition for both public and school libraries with audio collections.

--This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition. From AudioFile Since Charles Lamb first did it back in 1803, many writers have tried to adapt the plays of the Bard into prose for young readers. Leon Garfield has done it as well as anyone, and his two volumes of Shakespeare Stories form the basis for these marvelous recordings from the UK. The program includes an introduction to Shakespeare, a brief plot summary and a final essay called "Shakespeare Today." It''s a complete package that will help orient young people experiencing the plays for the first time. Garfield''s stories are exquisitely written and, while most of the language is modern, they retain the most famous speeches from the original plays, such as Juliet''s rhyming couplets "Parting is such sweet sorrow / That I shall say good night till it be morrow." Clare Higgins and Simon Russell Beale, who share billing on the entire series, are both actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and their comfort with the material shows in their flawless narrations. The Chivers series is ideal for students 10 and up although, like all great children''s literature, it''s certainly suitable for adults--Particularly those who want to brush up before seeing a performance, or those just looking to revisit the plays.

--This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition. Review "We can more easily decide between Shakespear and any other author, than between him and himself. Shall we quote any more passages to shew his genius or the beauty of
Romeo and Juliet? At that rate, we might quote the whole."
