Pride and Prejudice is the most famous of Jane Austen’s novels. Jane Austen's classic novel chronicles the events in the lives of the Bennet family. Take a poor family with five unmarried daughters, throw in a new wealthy neighbor or two, plus a whole regiment of soldiers in town, and add a heaping spoonful of pride and a pinch of prejudice. Mix it all together is a story full of tears and laughter, embarrassment and pride, and, of course, love.
