My oldest daughter is now in college. These can often be difficult due to the older English language style and unusual meanings of words. I was so happy to find high school English help through the use of a series of books from Dover.

Character Lists — These come in multiple forms from a complete list with an explanation as to who they are, to broken down lists that appear when they first appear in the book.
Even as an adult I sometimes go online and print character lists when there are many to keep track of — As with The Count of Monte Cristo which I am reading now. Summaries — First there is a summary of the entire literary work, then there are summaries for each chapter. Analysis — Each chapter in the study guide contains an analysis to help you better understand what is happening in the book.
Study Questions — These offer you the opportunity to test reading comprehensions and are given for each chapter. AND the answers are also given! I have to say that I appreciate not having to think to much when it comes to these things. Keeping up with all the information and all of my kids are learning is just too much for me.

Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece I first read when I was 15 , It was a battered copy I had picked up from a second hand shop. Now years later, I bought this beautiful vintage classics edition and read it for the upteenth time. Bennet is the father of five daughters living on a modest income, he is married to Mrs.
Bennet whose only goal in life is to get her daughters married. She finds her prayers answered when a young bachelor, a Mr. Bingley comes in their neighbourhood with his sisters and a friend Mr. Darcy and so the story begins.
This book made a big impact on me when I first read it, it deals with marriage for love vs money, class differences, self evolution of both the male and female protagonist. The characters are written in a very realistic manner , Our heroine is flawed, prejudiced but strong. Elizabeth Bennet is no doormat, she will not marry for comfort and monetary gains but for love.
Rare Book Cellar Published: Clark with a previously unpublished word preface by George Bernard Shaw. Chief Plays of Goldsmith and Sheridan: An interesting, and uncommon, early American edition Easily Very Good, lacking the slipcase.
Darcy had to be my first fictional crush, an epitome of the strong and silent men. Jane Austen immortalized both of them. The book being published in is a bit difficult to read for anyone starting on classics but I would urge the reader to give the book some time and it would be worth it. Love it, love it, love it! It will keep you glued till the very end.
You'll be left wanting for more by the time you finish this.
Language can be a bit tricky, nothing a dictionary app cannot fix. The acrid language, piercing detail and the vivid picturization make this a worthwhile read. I'll probably read it again and again many times just for the pure joy of reading - there is something of nice and pleasant flow of her language. Now as for book and printing - very nice. The font used is Sabon instead of something ghastly like Times New Roman. Text size is quite comfortable.
Paper quality is nice and has a smooth texture to it, although people accustomed to the bright off-white pages might be a bit disappointed at the not so bright pages.
So my suggestion is to buy the penguin edition. This is not a review of Pride and Prejudice the book. This is a classic and there is nothing more I can add to vouch for its awesomeness. I wanted a really pretty copy for my collection and this one fit the bill.
