This is the shortest version of Pride and Prejudice you'll ever encounter and, in my opinion, is better for it (I am not much of an admirer of Austen's adult writings, P&P in particular). It's such a beautifully illustrated novelty book: the 19th Century Romance is retold-extremely abridged-in short sentences that tell only the minimum of plot, but give the maximum effect. The illustrations are just lovely and I have honestly never enjoyed Pride and Prejudice so much before, not even with any kind of drenched man in sight. Obviously you won't find anything in-depth here: there are some of the most famous quotes from the book itself dotted around, but it's more a celebration of the book than anything else. It is just an utter delight. 'Nuff said.

las ilustraciones son muy bonitas y contiene lo mas importante de la novela, ideal si la has leído y quieres repasarla.

This fold out book touches the essential plot points of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice with exquisite illustrations. It does not, of course, compare with reading Austen's novel in its full version, but is a wonderful introduction to the story for a young reader, or as a keepsake for an Austen enthusiast.

I fall in love.... The illustration very beautiful.. 💜❤💛💚💙

[Georgiana 1792 · Rating 4 out of 5]

I disegni sono molto belli, ma il riassunto è troppo striminzito. Belle le citazioni tratte dal romanzo di Jane Austen.
Perfetto per chi conosce già il romanzo, meno indicato per gli altri.

This is a really cute and unique super-abridged version of P&P. Excellent illustrations! Now I want to sit down and enjoy the original! :D

I read this lovely little P&P adaptation to my daughter to celebrate the 204th anniversary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice. That, plus coffee in one of my P&P mugs, made for a fun time!

Quand cette petite collection est sortie il y a une dizaine d'année, j'étais dans une période raisonnable. Je pensais (bêtement) que j'avais assez de versions d'Orgueil et Préjugés (est-ce qu'on en a jamais assez ?) et j'avais donc opté plutôt pour Alice in Wonderland et the Secret Garden, deux oeuvres qui me tiennent aussi beaucoup à coeur. Et ça m'allait très bien. Mais récemment, Romeo & Juliet est entré en ma possession, presque par hasard, et il ne me manquait donc plus que celui-ci, 4 titres seulement ayant été édités, ce qui était quand même idiot, vous l'admettrez. Je me suis donc sentie obligée de compléter ma collection.

Et je ne l'ai évidemment pas regretté. L'intérieur nous présente, en accordéon, une version courte et illustrée du roman. Ici, l'artiste est Becca Stadtlander, qui a aussi été choisie pour The Secret Garden, Yelena Bryksenkova ayant illustré les deux autres opus et j'aime autant le travail de l'une que de l'autre. J'avais même déjà un dessin de cette édition qui avait été publié dans Flow et que j'ai gardé précieusement.

Mais, si les trois autres sont des romans jeunesse ou courts, ce n'est pas le cas de Pride and Prejudice et j'avoue que je m'inquiétais vraiment du rendu, Beccas Stadtlander ne disposant que de quelques volets pour résumer cette histoire très riche. Spoilert alors, j'ai eu tort de m'inquiéter, elle s'en sort parfaitement.

Un petit régal pour les yeux, une lecture agréable et un ajout de plus à ma collection sans fin donc... Et si vous voulez craquer à votre tour, les livres sont épuisés mais vous pouvez trouver les trois autres assez facilement. Celui-ci est victime de l'Austenmania et de personnes peu scrupuleuses qui pensent pouvoir en profiter pour le vendre une fortune sur Vinted mais si vous avez un peu de patience, il est encore régulièrement proposé à des prix raisonnables.

I got this for a gift awhile ago. It was packed away before I could read it, and I discovered it after unpacking some things. I like how the classic story was condensed into a few pages. The illustrations reminded me of the portraits from the era. I did not give it 5 stars as nothing can match the original novel.

[Dyah · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the vintage-style illustrations... although someone said it looks like coming out of the tin of Khong Guan biscuits :))
This edition is perfect to introduce this famous classic romance to early readers.

Tan bello.

[Aquetzalli Abnegatsuki · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has the most amazing pictures 😍😍 I’ve fallen in love with all them and I really enjoyed reading again this amazing classic.

[Slow Man · Rating 3 out of 5]

You can unfold this and let it stand on the table. It is very pretty to look at. When you feel like reading a sentence or two, you could.

[Lori · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute little Classics Unfolded version. It includes scene by scene plot summaries with quotes from the book along with a 30-second summary, a character list, and the story summed up in 5 words.

[Shannon Nicole Wilkinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

An exquisitely beautiful concertina . . . L O V E!

5 stars
A pretty keepsake for one of the most beloved books of all time.😊

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Eine unterhaltsame Geschichte, die mit Vorurteilen und Stolz elegant und weise spielt. Ein paar mehr Elisabeth und Mr. Darcy Szenen wären noch besser gewesen!

[Lea · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fabulous fold out book with beautiful illustrations. It includes portraits of the main characters, each page has a book quote and a one sentence summary of events. The full page illustrations are gorgeous. The last page has a "in 30 second" description of the book plus key words. A treasure for the P&P collector.

[Evagelia Anthony · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received a copy through the Goodreads First Reads program.
An easy-to-follow and beautifully illustrated story. Each picture has an explanation of the story's events and includes a story summary at the end. Very well done.

BEAUTIFULLY illustrated. Must-have for any Pride and Prejudice fan.

[Johara Almogbel · Rating 4 out of 5]

MUCH better than The Secret Garden. Partially, I believe, due to the simplicity of the original novel.

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

I want to frame this and put it on my wall! Such a fun way to retell a classic. The most notable quotes are included, and the artwork is beautiful.

Questa edizione della Gallucci Editore é un gioiellino da far scoprire a tutti, giovani e non. I disegni di Becca Stadtlander sono una gioia per gli occhi!

[Jennifer Louise · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really cool idea! The illustrations are gorgeous.

I can't begin to describe how beautiful this short version is, the illustrations are perfect, simply lovely
