The feud in Verona has been going on for three hundred years, and no one remembers what it was about in the first place.
Juliet Capulet doesn't care. She only cares about her pig Maria - a 200-pound calico pig who can open doors, scoop acorns, and knock people away from the balcony with her nose.
Nor did Romeo Montague care. He climbed over the wall, recited, was humped by the pig, got up and continued to dig out acorns.
Tybalt Capulet cared even less. He kills the Montagues without blinking an eye, until he discovers that the Montague he hates the most has in his pocket the honey acorns that his pigs love to eat.
A secret wedding, a spotted pig serving as bridesmaid, and a swordsman sticking his sword into the soil.
This is not a Shakespearean tragedy.
This is Verona's most absurd, heartwarming, and "piggy" love story.
Warning: This book contains a lot of acorns, pig snoring, patched trouser legs, and a Mercutio dressed like a poisonous mushroom. Don't read the "Pigs Fly Off the Balcony" part of Chapter 1 while you're eating.
Concept: A classic must be serious, but a tragedy can also be turned into a comedy, enriching the story of the supporting characters
