Pride and Prejudice (Illustrated): With Illustrations by Charles E. Brock (Top Five Classics)

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."<br/><br/>With every one of Jane Austen's novels still in print more than two hundred years after their initial publication, Pride & Prejudice remains her most beloved and enduring work.<br/><br/>Elizabeth Bennet, the second oldest of five daughters, would already be married if her mother had anything to say about it. At twenty-one, she is headstrong, clever, kind, and most of all, unwilling to settle for a loveless match. When she meets the proud Mr. Darcy, they immediately misjudge one another, but soon challenge and ultimately change each other in a story with as much comedy and satire as drama and romance.<br/><br/>Featuring 40 illustrations by renowned Austen illustrator Charles E. Brock, this Top Five Classics edition includes the unabridged text, an informative introduction, and a detailed author biography.
