Pride And Prejudice: With Original Version Picture Illustrations By Hugh Thomson

Mr. Bennet, his overbearing wife, and his five daughters all live in Hartfordshire where Mr. Bennet is currently ruler of the nest. However, if Mr. Bennet passes away, his entire family will be left with nothing because everything they own will be inherited by a distant cousin whom they barely even know. This brings the ever so important need for the five girls to seek financial comfort and well-being in a good marriage. Life goes on uneventfully until one day, a handsome rich fellow name Mr. Bingley moves into the neighborhood. Along with Mr. Bingley comes his sister as well as the unbelievably handsome and ever so rich Mr. Darcy. The five sisters quickly find themselves in a race to be the first to win the heart of the handsome gentlemen over, and when one of the sisters becomes the first to succeed, the others lash out in a whirlwind of fury, gossip, and scandal. This version includes the original picture illustrations by Hugh Thomson from the first edition.
