But when boy-crazy Kitty and Lydia fall in with the wrong crowd, it is Darcy who saves the day--and the Bennet family honor--and wins Elizabeth's tiny, rapidly beating rodent heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis delightful retelling of \u003ci\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/i\u003e is illustrated throughout with full color photos of the finest guinea pig actors working today. Costumers familiar with the elegant curves of the guinea pig form have tailored lush period looks. And of course, it is the love between guinea pigs that can best illustrate the depth of feeling between Jane Austen's Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*\u003ci\u003eThe guinea pig playing Darcy struggled with looking supercilious, though rest assured, when carrots were removed from the elegant sets, the actor was able to still his nose long enough to look down it, and once he donned his summer-weight waistcoat, he made a fine and dashing Darcy.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We thought \u003ci\u003ePride \u0026amp; Prejudice \u003c\/i\u003ecouldn’t get much better--then we saw lines from Jane Austen’s classic novel paired with some seriously dapper rodents.” —\u003ci\u003eEW.com\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This may be the definitive version of \u003ci\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/i\u003e.
