Romance of words

Valuable exhibits from the British Library, including the 1599 quarto edition of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens, are on display in China for the first time.

The 1599 quarto edition of Romeo and Juliet, once owned by King George III, is exceptionally rare. When it was printed, William Shakespeare was still alive and the play had already debuted. This version could well be the most accurate and closest to the Bard's original.
