This classic 18th century novel has inspired movies and spinoff works including Twilight and Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. In this new edition, young readers have the opportunity to see the artistic inspiration behind the recent hit, Twilight. Elizabeth Bennet is appalled at Mr. Darcy's lack of sensitivity and manners. But when 16-year-old Lydia Bennet elopes with Mr. Wickham, Elizabeth sees Mr. Darcy in a new light. When Mr. Darcy helps arrange a match that saves Lydia from complete ruin, Elizabeth feels affection and respect for this handsome young man. Yet fate tears Darcy and Elizabeth apart, and it appears like they will never find each other across the polite and proper 18th century society.
