________________________ It is a truth universally acknowledged,
that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want
of a wife. And Mrs Bennet has five unmarried daughters in want of
husbands. Life is fairly uneventful until a promising young man, Mr
Bingley, takes the nearby estate of Netherfield Park. And with him
comes a handsome friend, whom the ladies see brooding in the corner
at the next ball. The dashing Mr Darcy gains the admiration of
every lady in the room, until, that is, he refuses to dance with
Elizabeth Bennet. As time passes and their acquaintance grows,
however, Mr Darcy begins to find Elizabeth's face rendered
uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark
eyes... Here is a brand new abridgement of the classic Jane Austen
novel - this time with a cute, humble and handsome cast of guinea
pigs in the starring roles. It's even more dreamy to fall in love
with a furry Mr Darcy. '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 'If you're
anything like me, you had no idea how much the world needed a furry
rodent reenactment of Lizzie and Darcy's love story until one
existed' Melissa Albert
Born into the litters of two rival families, star-cross'd lovers
Romeo and Juliet fall tuft-over-paw for each other before learning

Romeo?' squeaks Juliet from her balcony, before declarations of
undying affection are made and a secret wedding is planned. But the
path of true love does not run smooth, and Romeo soon finds himself
banished from the city of Verona after playing his part in a fatal
brawl with Juliet's family. In a desperate attempt to scurry away
together, they devise a plan fraught with danger that eventually
leads to heart-break...Discover Shakespeare's classic tale of
romance and tragedy, retold in an entirely new way.

Fur and fiction combine in this retelling of Charles Dickens's most
famous novel, adorably adapted with an all-star cast of guinea
pigs. In the misery of a workhouse, a poor, fluffy little orphan
called Oliver Twist is fed on nothing but thin air and even thinner
gruel. By squeaking a fateful question - 'Please, sir, I want some
more' - he unwittingly sparks a series of events that lead him to
the smoke and grime of the big city, where he encounters a host of
four-legged friends and foes such as the crafty Fagin, mischievous
Artful Dodger, faithful Nancy and treacherous Bill Sikes, who sweep
young Oliver off of his paws and into the underworld of Victorian
London.
The Nutcracker ballet, danced by guinea pigs
As the curtain rises, Clara is opening her presents under the Christmas tree. She falls in love with a present from her godfather Drosselmeyer: a wooden Nutcracker. When Clara falls asleep that night, she is swept up in a battle between the Nutcracker (who has become a handsome prince) and the terrible Mouse King. This leads to a magical trip into the realms of fantasy, a sweet-filled wonderland where the beautiful Sugarplum Fairy dances...
This is the world famous ballet, as you've never seen it before.
