Austen's most popular novel, the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy

Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen’s beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. This Penguin Classics edition, based on Austen's first edition, contains the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner and an updated introduction and notes by Viven Jones.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect Austen heroine: intelligent, generous, sensible, incapable of jealousy or any other major sin. That makes her sound like an insufferable goody-goody, but the truth is she's a completely hip character, who if provoked is not above skewering her antagonist with a piece of her exceptionally sharp -- but always polite -- 18th century wit. The point is, you spend the whole book absolutely fixated on the critical question: will Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy hook up? --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

From Library Journal

Austen is the hot property of the entertainment world with new feature film versions of Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility on the silver screen and Pride and Prejudice hitting the TV airwaves on PBS. Such high visibility will inevitably draw renewed interest in the original source materials. These new Modern Library editions offer quality hardcovers at affordable prices.

Beautiful Storybook coloring book based on Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen – printed on both sides of the page

Byiiiireader#1 REVIEWER#1 HALL OF FAMEon July 6, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love Jane Austen novels and one of my favorites (as with many others) is Pride and Prejudice. As a young girl, I remember reading it late into the night with a flashlight under the covers. While I missed many of the nuances of the story at that time, the romance itself was enthralling enough for me to read it over and over again. Later in life, I used this novel for several papers in various English classes. So, I guess you can say I am a big fan of the story.

Sometimes that can and have made me very critical of takes on this novel. While I admit I am disappointed that there are not more designs which include Elizabeth and Darcy or other of the characters, I think the designs are quite lovely and will be lots of fun to color. Some of my favorite excerpts are included, including “It is universally acknowledged...” so the story is fun to read as I color. Just coloring my first choice of designs in the book made me reach for my Kindle to read the story in full once again.

The cover is in black print on white (with elements you can color) with gold foil highlights on the front. Both covers fold out and there are some elements on the flaps that can be colored but the inside of the covers are really just pretty patterns with nothing to color except background.

As I noted, there are lovely designs of gloves, flowers, and whatnot. The book is a little light on characters. The designs are intricate and detailed in spots but should not pose any particular issues in coloring apart from the fact the book is printed on both sides of the page.

This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium of the paper.

78 Storybook designs pages (including three pages of the language of flowers – lovely little addition to the book.)

Designs are printed on both sides of the page

Paper is heavyweight, white, slightly smooth, and non-perforated.

Sewn Binding which makes it easy to remove several pages at a time by snipping a few threads. This method makes sure you don't lose portions of the design if you want to remove pages.

Designs merge into the binding area.

Some designs spread across two pages with essential elements merging into the binding area.

My copy of the book lined up very well on the two page designs.

I could get the book to lay fairly flat by breaking (or creasing) the spine.

Alcohol-based markers bleed through slightly on this paper.

Water based markers (except for brush end Tombows) left the slightest indistinct shadow on the back of the page. Tombow did not leave a shadow.

Gel pens and India ink pens did not bleed through this paper.

Colored pencils did well with this paper. I was able to color with light or heavy pigment, layer and blend using both my various wax and oil based pencils. I use a pencil style stick blender for my tests. Hard lead pencils did well and did not dent/score through to the back of the page.

Classic Lines Edition

ByBeyondthefonton December 22, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a review of the Splinter Classic Lines edition. These beautiful watercolor illustrated editions are a must have for all JA fans who are collecting. The cover is in the style of a French fold with a smooth buttery paper texture. The inside paper is a light-medium weight in that slightly grainy texture and there are hints of tiny threads in it like the kind you'd find on paper dollars. All in all, It will be great on your shelf and for reading as well!

DK Illustrated Classics Edition

ByCopper CavalierTOP 500 REVIEWERon February 18, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Amazon's review system is rather strange for classics, as it lumps all the various editions together under one title. This review is for the DK Illustrated Classics edition of Pride & Prejudice. This is not a review of the novel itself, only the DK edition.

I had to give the DK edition five stars, or else I would be downgrading Pride & Prejudice itself! I do wish there was a separate rating system.

Unless you have a specific purpose for buying the DK edition, such as classroom or ESL use, I would avoid this version. DK has added lots of extra features to this book, but if you are simply reading for enjoyment, these features are distracting and annoying.

First of all, this book is printed on shiny, glossy paper. The pages have a harsh glare, and feel unpleasant to touch.

DK has taken the liberty of highlighting certain words in a bold font. These words are defined at the bottom of the page. Not every page has them, but many do, and one page has eight highlighted words!

Examples of these highlighted words include: Design, Nervous, Opinion, Library, Town, Disgust, and Amiable. Coming across the bold words as you read is extremely distracting and completely unnecessary. A glossary at the end of the book contains all of the highlighted words, so there is no need to repeat the definitions page by page.

DK has also added several sections of contemporary topics, such as Music & Dancing, Town & Country, Women's Education, Courtship & Marriage, and The Army. There is nothing wrong with these extras, but they pop up randomly throughout the book. Again, very distracting. It would have been much better to put the extra sections in an appendix at the back of the book.

The illustrations in the book are very nice, and each volume of the novel has it's own colorful border design along the edges of each page. There's also an illustrated, color glossary, and discussion questions at the end of the book.

Overall, the DK edition is attractive, but the extra features make the novel less enjoyable to read. There are so many wonderful editions of Pride & Prejudice available, so I would avoid this one!

Very cool, pretty much a must have

ByT. Sommeron February 26, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is a terrific P & P for your bookshelves. The cover has raised letters, there are flowers on the page edges when shut, charming illustrations, and even a fold out middle. That is a lot of special for under $18.

A lovely book!

ByNanaon March 15, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love this coloring book. The faces and features are beautifully rendered, the costumes are perfectly faithful to the period the book is set in, There's a great variety of different subjects and items to color including flowers, articles of dress, jewels, household objects--even a page of fishes and a page with a horse! And all through it are the flowers. The last couple of pages give you flower illustrations with the "language of flowers," and the flower language is used throughout the book. It's very charming.

The paper is of good quality, though unfortunately the prints are on both sides of each page. That might be a problem for marker users. I'm not having any trouble with my pencils. And you'll find plenty of little design touches for trying out various techniques--perhaps fantasy fish, metallic gel pens for the various gold and silver trims, maybe chalk pastels for backgrounds. There's plenty of scope for trying things out.
