Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice: The Complete Novel, with Nineteen Letters from the Characters' Correspondence, Written and Folded by Hand | Barbara Heller
10 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
This deluxe edition brings to life the letters exchanged among Jane Austen's characters in Pride and Prejudice. Glassine pockets placed throughout the book contain removable replicas of 19 letters from the story. 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. Nothing captures Jane Austen's vivid emotion and keen wit better than her characters' correspondence. Each letter is re-created with gorgeous calligraphy. Letters are hand-folded with painstaking attention to historical detail. Perusing the letters will transport readers straight to the drawing room at Netherfield or the breakfast table at Longbourn. For anyone who loves Austen, and for anyone who still cherishes the joy of letter writing, this book illuminates a favorite story in a whole new way. Step inside the world of Pride and Prejudice, one of the most beloved novels of all time. Great Mother's Day, birthday, or holiday gift for diehard Jane Austen fans A visually gorgeous book that will be at home on the shelf or on the coffee table Add it to the shelf with books like What Would Jane Do?: Quips and Wisdom from Jane Austen by Potter Gift, Jane-a-Day: 5 Year Journal with 365 Witticisms by Jane Austen Edition by Potter Gift, and The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things by Paula Byrne.

"Elizabeth had the satisfaction of receiving an answer to her letter as soon as she possibly could. She was no sooner in possession of it than, hurrying into the little copse, where she was least likely to be interrupted, she sat down on one of the benches and prepared to be happy; for the length of the letter convinced her that it did not contain a denial." - Chapter 52

I followed Elizabeth's example and took my book and it's letters out to a bench in the trees. 💌

"He has given in all his debts; I hope at least he has not deceived us." Chapter 50

Letters continue as Mr. Gardiner sorts out all the details.

Also look at this beautiful bouquet I bought this morning at the Farmers' Market. That sunflower! Yellow makes me happy. Plus I love the contrast of purple zinnia.?????

"There will not be the smallest occasion for your coming to town again; therefore stay quiet at Longbourn, and depend on my diligence and care." - Chapter 49

Mr. Gardiner oh so tactfully telling Mr. Bennet to just stay home. When what he really means is 'You're no help. I've got this.' ?

"Howsoever that may be, you are grievously to be pitied; in which opinion I am not only joined by Mrs. Collins, but likewise by Lady Catherine and her daughter, to whom I have related the affair." Chapter 48

Condolences from Mr. Collins. Ugh. ✉️

"Oh! thoughtless, thoughtless Lydia!" cried Elizabeth when she had finished it. "What a letter is this, to be written at such a moment! - Chapter 47

This section of P & P has lots of letters. After all that's how people communicated. This one is particularly fun. It's made to look like Lydia wrote her note that she left for Mrs Foster on the back of fashion sheet. Which is totally something Lydia would do. ✉️

"They had just been preparing to walk as the letters came in; and her uncle and aunt, leaving her to enjoy them in quiet, set off by themselves." - Chapter 46

#Pemberlittens not one but two letters and it's not good news. Because of the letters I'm back to this Edition. ?

"The whole party have left Netherfield by this time, and are on their way to town—and without any intention of coming back again." Chapter 21
