This special edition invites fans inside the world of Pride and Prejudice with the inclusion of gorgeous, removable replicas of 19 letters from the story.
Step inside the world of Pride and Prejudice, one of the most beloved novels of all time. Jane Austen’s classic tale follows the ups and downs of the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, two unforgettable characters who come alive in their letters and other writings.
Nothing captures Jane Austen's vivid emotion and keen wit better than her characters' correspondence. As you read this deluxe edition of the novel, you will find pockets throughout containing replicas of all 19 significant letters from the story, re-created with beautiful calligraphy and painstaking attention to historical detail. These powerful epistles include Lydia's announcement of her elopement, Mr. Collins's obsequious missives, and of course Darcy's painfully honest letter to Elizabeth. Pull out each one, peruse its contents, and allow yourself to be transported straight to the drawing room at Netherfield or the breakfast table at Longbourn.
For anyone who loves Jane Austen, and for anyone who still cherishes the joy of letter writing, this book illuminates a favorite story in a whole new way.
