Juliet loves Romeo and Romeo loves Juliet. But the love must not be, because between the families of the couple is bitter enmity for generations. After the wedding night, at the first sound of the lark, Romeo flees Verona. Juliet takes a sleeping draught to prevent her marriage to the noble son Paris and to be with Romeo. But the lovers' fate is sealed. With the retelling of the world-famous classic, Ulrich Maske and Franziska take Harvey to the magnificent palaces of the Capulets and Montagues. Many large-scale illustrations let young and old immerse themselves in Shakespeare's world. The audio book of the same name, spoken by Julia Nachtmann, is published by JUMBO Verlag.
