Summary from Goodreads:
Readable Classics gently edits great works of literature, retaining the original voices of the authors, making them more enjoyable and less frustrating for modern readers. Jane Austen's 1813 masterpiece humorously relates the complex mating rituals of Regency England society, as Mrs. Bennet hopes to find rich husbands for her five daughters, who will become destitute if they do not marry well. Mr. Bingley, a gentleman of good fortune, is easily charmed by Jane. But his friend Mr. Darcy's excessive pride offends Elizabeth, who quickly becomes prejudiced against him. This delightful romp is full of romantic misunderstandings, rejected proposals, disastrous elopements, and happy endings for those who deserve them.
Review:
I have always wanted to read this book, and when I got it on my e reader I was like YES, but it was in the old English which I could not understand so I was so glad I got this book because now I can understand it. Anyways, this book is defiantly a classic and can be past down to your daughter....so on and so on.. The characters are easy to picture and I felt like I was there watch it happen. Its a really great classic and I defiantly recommend it! Such a great read!
