Presented in a commercially produced cell phone pouch or cover of found objects. Each book varies slightly in appearance. John Hastings, introduction: "The language in Shakespeare's plays has stood the test of time, but could it survive a translation into text messages by a modern teenager? I asked my 16-year-old granddaughter to rewrite the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet as if it had all happened between two teens text messaging on their cell phones."
