Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Readers Simplified Text) Book

Oxford University Press celebrates the World's Classics by reissuing some of the best loved novels in their original hardback format, with special introductions by today's most distinguished writers. Pride and Prejudice (1813) is Jane Austen's best known novel in which the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy is played out among a scintillating cast of characters, including the fatuous Mr Collins and his patroness Lady Catherine de Bourgh, the ill-matched Mr and Mrs Bennet, and the unscrupulous George Wickham.

In early nineteenth-century England, a spirited young woman copes with the suit of a snobbish gentleman as well as the romantic entanglements of her four sisters.
