Product Description:
An inexpensive "no-frills" edition. 272 pgs.
When Charles Bingley, a young but wealthy nobleman, moves into a nearby estate, it is cause for much excitement, especially for the Bennet family (with five unmarried daughters). Charles takes an immediate liking to the oldest daughter, Jane, but the true romance and story revolves around the headstrong second daughter, Elizabeth. Charles's friend Mr. Darcy finds himself gradually enticed by Elizabeth's wit and charm (though the two are initially cold and unreceptive towards each other). Perhaps the most famous of Jane Austen's novels, Pride and Prejudice provides an entertaining look into 19th century English country life and into one of literature's most famous courtships. We offer several editions of this popular novel, which are all paperback and unabridged. ~ Enh

Please note that a brief synopsis of many of the books included here are provided in our Library Builders section. Study guides for the same book are often available from several publishers, so we found it more efficient to give a description of the book only once.
