Synopsis
A charming retelling of Shakespeare's beloved tragedy, brought to you by the cuddly stars of A Guinea Pig Pride & Prejudice.
A Guinea Pig Romeo & Juliet tells the tragic tale of two star-crossed guinea pigs who fall in love at first nose twitch.
When Romeo and Juliet meet in a crowded ballroom, they don't realize that their families are sworn enemies. Later that night, Romeo overhears Juliet declaring her love for him from her balcony, and the two hatch a plan to marry and escape. But their great romance is ruined by the family rivalry, which tears them apart and leads to their tragic demise.
Portrayed with great heart by a darling cast of guinea pigs in adorable period costumes, A Guinea Pig Romeo & Juliet is Shakespeare as you've never seen him before.

About the Author
William Shakespeare was a poet, playwright, and actor born in 1564. His work includes classics like Hamlet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Tess Gammell works as a freelance set designer on a variety of scales, including fashion, film, events, and window displays.
When Alex Goodwin isn't hacking the work of a certain famous English playwright into guinea-pig-friendly chunks, he writes his own fiction (which he hopes one day might receive the same treatment).
Review
"Like a comfortable armchair upon which you might read one of these tiny masterpieces, the success of the series--and let there be no doubt that it is a triumph--rests on four points: the iconic but charming literature upon which each book is based; the unwavering cuteness of the guinea pigs; the delightful styling of each photograph with costumes by Newall; the sparse brevity of Goodwin's adaptations that preserve the essence, the aesthetic, and the language of the original." - Los Angeles Review of Books
"A sweet take on Shakespeare's tragic love story . . . Fully illustrated with guinea pigs in costumes worthy of The Globe Theatre in London, this book is definitely not one to miss." - BookTrib
"We thought Pride & Prejudice couldn't get much better--then we saw lines from Jane Austen's classic novel paired with some seriously dapper rodents." - EW.com, on A GUINEA PIG PRIDE & PREJUDICE
"This may be the definitive version of Pride and Prejudice. If they could get War and Peace down to this length, it would be a service to mankind." - Salman Rushdie, on A GUINEA PIG PRIDE & PREJUDICE
"An entirely new, adorably hilarious take on the classic story . . . This affectionate, quietly dramatic homage is the perfect gift for Austen-philes, Austen-newbies, guinea-pig aficionados and anyone who appreciates a tale well told." - BookPage, on A GUINEA PIG PRIDE & PREJUDICE
