LETTERS TO JULIET; Celebrating Shakespeare's Greatest Heroine, the Magical City of Verona, and the Power of Love, by Lise Friedman and Ceil Friedman. Juliet is one-half of the famous couple, and since the 1930s, she has received an untold number of letters from writers all over the world. Most write about love--lost, found, sought, and remembered. No matter how they are addressed (sometimes, "Juliet, Verona"), or what they say, each receives an answer. This is the story of the letters and the volunteers who have been answering them for over seven decades. Complete with selected letters, this romantic and poetic book also contains the history behind Shakespeare's tale and the monuments that fuel the legend. Envelope and stationery are included so you may write your own letter to Juliet. 177 pp. Hardcover.
