Summary

Tonight's sleep story is Romeo and Juliet retold by Edith Nesbit. You know the story of the ill-fated lovers Romeo and Juliet, originally written by William Shakespeare. This adaptation by Edith Nesbit condenses and simplifies the story but the end remains the same. If you're still awake, the second story is Much Ado About Nothing. A story you might not be as familiar with.
