Description
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a classic tale of love overcoming preconceptions, centred on the two eldest daughters of the Bennet family: Jane and Elizabeth.
Elizabeth has to fend off an unwelcome offer of marriage from the Rev. Collins while mistakenly falling for the charms of the dashing Mr Wickham. She eventually realises that appearances are deceptive and that her prejudice against Mr Darcy has blinded her to his real character. Witty, humorous, and ultimately satisfying, this masterpiece of classic fiction has endured for more than two hundred years.
