Pride and Prejudice

Of all Jane Austen's books Pride And Prejudice has earned a special place in the hearts of the reading public as her best-loved and most intimately known novel. From its famous opening sentence the story of Elizabeth and Darcy, told with a wit that its author feared might prove ""rather too light and bright, and sparkling"", delights its most familiar readers as thoroughly as it does those who encounter it for the first time.
