Modern Twist of an Timeless Classic

I LOVE Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I love anything connected to it and I aim to read it every year and watch the BBC or any other version multiple times in the year!!

I came across this and realised that P&P really is a story that is trans generational and now Gen YĆ©rs really can enjoy it ... as long as you have read the original classic.

Thanks to Lyndale Press for making my day!!
