Helpful Score: 1
One of Jane Austen's best loved and most intimately known novel. From its famous opening sentence the story of the Bennet family and of the novel's two protagonists, 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. While she entertains us, Jane Austen teaches us the wisdom of balance, the folly of 'pride' and 'prejudice'.
