William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

This is an easy-to-read version of William Shakespeare's ROMEO AND JULIET. The story is well known. Juliet, who is not quite 14 years old, falls in love at first sight with Romeo, who is a little older and who falls in love at first sight with Juliet. Juliet is the only living child of the Capulets, and Romeo is the only living child of the Montagues. The Capulets and the Montagues are enemies. Do you know a language other than English? If you do, I give you permission to translate this book, copyright your translation, publish or self-publish it, and keep all the royalties for yourself. (Do give me credit, of course, for the original retelling.) I would like to see my retellings of classic literature used in schools, so I give permission to the country of Finland (and all other countries) to give copies of this book to all students forever. I also give permission to the state of Texas (and all other states) to give copies of this book to all students forever. I also give permission to all teachers to give copies of this book to all students forever. Teachers need not actually teach my retellings. Teachers are welcome to give students copies of my eBooks as background material. For example, if they are teaching Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, teachers are welcome to give students copies of my Virgil's Aeneid: A Retelling in Prose and tell students, "Here's another ancient epic you may want to read in your spare time."
