Pride and Prejudice

Why it caught our eye

Some books are worth reading once. Others deserve a lifetime of rereading. And then there's Pride and Prejudice, which we firmly believe one can never own too many copies of.

First published in 1813, Jane Austen's masterpiece has been making readers laugh, sigh, and fall hopelessly in love with Mr. Darcy for more than two centuries. Quite simply, it is one of the most beloved novels ever written—and with very good reason.

Meet Elizabeth Bennet: clever, spirited, wonderfully independent, and entirely unimpressed by the wealthy, exceedingly proud Fitzwilliam Darcy. What follows is a deliciously entertaining dance of misunderstandings, wounded pride, meddlesome relations, unfortunate proposals, and, ultimately, one of literature's greatest love stories.

But Austen gives us so much more than romance. Her sparkling wit, wickedly perceptive observations about society, and unforgettable characters make this novel as fresh and funny today as it was when it first appeared. Long before the modern romantic comedy, there was Elizabeth Bennet, reminding us that a good heart and a good mind are worth considerably more than a grand estate.

And this edition! A magnificent decorative cover with embossed foil detailing, gleaming gold page edges, and a ribbon bookmark make it every bit as beautiful on the outside as the story is within.

A glorious gift for a devoted Jane Austen admirer, a wonderful introduction for someone discovering her for the first time, or simply an excellent excuse to add yet another copy to your own bookshelf.

Because really, can one ever have too much Jane Austen? We think not.
