A beloved classic with irresistible romance. This is a gorgeous addition to our bespoke collection of illustrated classics.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Mrs Bennet is sure that marriage is the only way a woman can advance in society. She is determined to see all five of her daughters in wedded bliss. But matters of matrimony are never so simple.
Her eldest daughter Elizabeth has a sharp tongue and even sharper wit. When she crosses paths with the enigmatic and infuriatingly proud Mr Darcy, a battle of tempers and truths begins. But as masks fall and judgements falter, both must question if it is pride that is holding them back or fear of society's scrutiny.
A story of tangled hearts, social games and the courage to love without pretence, Pride and Prejudice remains a sparkling study of class in 19th Century England.
