Pride and Prejudice - Penguin Clothbound Classics
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." Pride & Prejudice, 1813
The opening statement from 'Pride & Prejudice', the first novel written by Jane Austen, gives a massive hint to the wonderful story that lies ahead. We are to meet the Bennet family and in particular Mrs. Bennet whose sole purpose in life is to find suitable husbands for all her five daughters. With the arrival of two very eligible young men, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, and their subsequent acquaintances with the older Bennet daughters, Jane and Elizabeth, we enter the regency world of balls, courtship and romance. Misunderstandings, heartache and romantic flirtations are entwined within the two women's search for love.
