Classic tales in Tweet form 

Photograph by http://www.flickr.com/photos/faith_forever_photos/My friend Marie Young Tweeted about two 19-year-olds getting a book deal. As far as I can make out, as the article is not clear about it, they are rewriting 20 classics in form.
   So, does that mean we will get the following (as I Tweeted back to Marie)?

@flyinglens I wonder, e.g. Cinderella: nasty stepsisters! Gone to ball, OMG, left shoe behind! Prince C. brings it back. Thank goodness!

@flyinglens Or, : Mum tried to hook Jane up. Darcy can be an SOB, but he does good stuff, cool! Nice ring! Yay Gardiners!


   Scary stuff.
   The predictions were right: Milton Glaser’s I heart NY symbol will become, by the middle of the twenty-first century, classical .

Note

Entries from 2006 to the end of 2009 were done on the Blogger service. As of January 1, 2010, this blog has shifted to a Wordpress installation, with the latest posts here.
   With Blogger ceasing to support FTP publishing on May 1, I have decided to turn these older pages in to an archive, so you will no longer be able to enter comments. However, you can comment on entries posted after January 1, 2010.
