Pride & Prejudice - by Jane Austen (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Elizabeth Bennet has a problem. As one of five sisters and the daughter of a marriage-mad mother, it's not easy for Lizzy to stand her ground. Especially with her views on love, the intelligent young woman frequently causes controversy in 19th century England. This is also the case with the very attractive, admittedly arrogant Mr. Darcy, who has his own beliefs.

Darcy prevents the engagement of his friend Bingley to Jane Bennet, Lizzy's older sister, because he thinks the Bennets are not worthy of their status and the girls' mother is socially unacceptable. Lizzy resents him and shows him that, but Darcy has long since fallen madly in love with her. This whimsical edition offers:

• A fun, accessible way to experience Jane Austen's beloved story
• Lush and romantic illustration bringing Regency England to life
• An ideal entry point for anyone discovering the classic for the first time
• Perfect for Austen fans, romance lovers, and classroom reading
