Publisher's Synopsis
A beautiful jacketed hardback edition of Jane Austen's enduring love story Pride and Prejudice with brand-new, full-color illustrations by Luna Willems.
Considered by many to be Jane Austen's best work, Pride and Prejudice is a sharp comedy of manners centering on quick-witted Elizabeth Bennet and the mounting pressures put on her to find a suitable husband. When the aristocratic, reserved Mr Darcy enters her society, and interferes with Elizabeth's blossoming relationship with the dashing Mr Wickham, both must confront their assumptions about the other if they're to find true happiness.

This beautifully illustrated collector's edition features the unabridged text and 24 specially-commissioned illustrations, full-color by Luna Willems. Whether you're approaching Pride and Prejudice for the first time, or want to experience it afresh with new illustrations, this collectible edition is perfect for any lover of classic literature.
