For Valentine's day, tonight’s storytelling is the tragic love story of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. This retelling by Edith Nesbit is a love story about two young teenagers who fall in love with each other the first time they meet. However, the many years of conflict between their families requires them to remain enemies.
