Pride and Prejudice
written by Jane Austen
“It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife.”
Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own daring child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print."

Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet and their five unmarried daughters. The plot revolves mainly around the clever and amusing second daughter, Elizabeth, and her troublesome romance with the wealthy but too proud Mr Darcy.
