Witty, intelligent Elizabeth Bennet has no desire for a marriage of
convenience. And when she meets the handsome, wealthy Mr Darcy, her
opinion of him is quickly set: he is aloof, selfish and proud - the
last man in the world she would ever marry. Until their paths cross
again, and again, and the pair begin to realise that first
impressions can be flawed... But as Elizabeth and Darcy become
entangled in a dance through the strict hierarchies of society,
will there be space for true love to bloom? Bestselling and YA Book
Prize shortlisted author Laura Wood brings Elizabeth Bennet and Mr
Darcy's romance to life once more in a stunning and truly
accessible retelling of Austen's beloved classic.
This classic story of logic and lunacy with its memorable
characters and spirited heroine is illustrated with great warmth
and humour by Helen Oxenbury in this beautiful award-winning
edition. For over a hundred years, Lewis Carroll's classic story of
logic and lunacy has delighted young and old alike. More abundantly
illustrated than previous editions, this award-winning
interpretation is full of warmth and humour. The whole approach is
contemporary and accessible: Alice herself is a child of today -
casually dressed, personable, spirited. In Helen Oxenbury's hands,
the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland is a wondrous place indeed!
