“For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child, there lies the adult that will be.” John Connolly, The Book of Lost Things.
>> Rating: clean 13 chapters. SPOILER ALERT: This review may contain *** SPOILERS ***
At the Netherfield Ball, everything went horribly wrong for both Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth was forced, by manners and propriety, to dance with her buffoon of a cousin. The Bennet family seemed determined to outdo each other in displaying their worst behavior. From the youngest Bennet girls, to even Mr. and Mrs. Bennet themselves, everyone was a constant source of embarrassment. Add to that, her disappointment when Mr. Wickham did not appear, after Lizzy had dressed so carefully in hopes of seeing him. And then, she was encroached upon by Mr. Darcy, when he requested a dance set from her.
Mr. Darcy was horrified by the entire evening. Mr. Collins had imposed himself on Darcy by addressing him without a proper introduction. His emotions, regarding Miss Elizabeth, were raw and he was not accustomed to feeling that way. His anger raged knowing that Wickham’s lies had poisoned Miss Elizabeth’s good opinion of him. Everything and everyone were beneath him and he didn’t know how to handle it. After enduring all that he could tolerate, he stepped outside the Assembly Hall for a breath of fresh air. Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley was tired. He was tired of being responsible for all his financial holdings, the care of his younger sister, his guilt over her near ruin, his tenants, and Pemberley. As he looked at the local men around him, with seemingly no worries, he wondered what it would be like to be free of all his responsibilities and wished for that peace.
While outside, he saw a beautiful woman, dressed as a traveler [gypsy or Romany], giving fortunes. As she approached him, he kindly refused the fortune but offered her a coin anyway. She thanked him for his generosity and stated that his wish had been granted. Wish? What wish? He hadn’t made a wish.
Upon waking the next morning, Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley found that he no longer had any responsibilities. He was in the body of a 10-year-old boy. This fantasy story was a what-if, a reversal on the movie Big, delivered through a JAFF variation. What an adorable boy. I know it was crazy and too unreal to be believable. So, why should Elizabeth believe it? Because we needed her to in order to propel the story forward. Plus, he knew things only she and he would know. I loved the interaction between young William and Elizabeth.
“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection.’ Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents
This was a strong case for human kindness. Mr. Darcy now found himself a child, alone, and unprotected in the world of grownups where he had no authority, and no one to turn to for protection. We saw the true spirit behind many different people as they made life for the young Willian better or a misery. Caroline Bingley was cruel and her actions and treatment of a servant child were vicious and unnecessary. Several servants went out of their way to take care of the orphaned child and I was so touched by that part of the story.
As I read the variation, there were many clues and foreshadowing that I overlooked and missed. The later chapters acted like an epilogue in order to give completion to these characters and their story. I loved how their kindness was returned and their humility at receiving it. Caroline, on the other hand, would reap her consequence for a long time. And lest you think Wickham had been forgotten… oh… no, he was handled very differently than we have seen in JAFF. It was rather hilarious.
As for Fitzwilliam Darcy, it was a perspective he would never forget. He had been hungry, rebuffed, scuffed on the head, ignored, cold, had to shift for himself, was forced to wear ill-fitted clothing, was dirty, had to fend for himself, was rejected, and lonely. Through it all, he maintained his composure and dignity. I was so proud of him. He was adorable. I just loved him. He displayed his manners so nicely and behaved himself so sweetly that you had to love this adorable young man.
As some have referenced this as a reversal on the movie Big, I also make a reference to It’s A Wonderful Life. It was not what the world would be like without Fitzwilliam Darcy, but like that moment when George Bailey suddenly realized that he really did have a wonderful life. That reality hit Mr. Darcy hard when he arrived at that realization. His joy was so touching and poignant. I highly recommend this adorable story.
Personal note: I have a particular soft spot for this story because I once had a Sunday School Class full of 5th and 6th graders, just this age.

This is a sweet mashup of Pride and Prejudice and the popular 1988 movie Big. In the movie, a boy wishes to be "big," and the result is a 10-year-old kid's mind in fully grown man's body. In this book, Fitzwilliam Darcy wishes he were free of all the responsibilities and obligations of his elevated social sphere (mostly because he feels they prevent him from pursuing and marrying Elizabeth Bennet). When his wish is granted, the result is the opposite: a fully grown man's brain in a 10-year-old kid's body. No responsibilities or obligations, and also no social standing.
The author does a good job of making the rest of the story plausible. The only exception is that I doubt Netherfield's groom would ever allow someone else ride Darcy's horse, but I understand its necessity in pushing the plot forward. Darcy poses as William, a page hired by Mr. Darcy. The situation give him his lesson in humility, and he now interacts with various servants in the Netherfield and Longbourn households very differently, recognizing their value over some in the higher classes. His relationship with Elizabeth also evolves.
This is a short book, and I don't want to reveal too much of the story. It's a sweet, satisfying little tale that I highly recommend.

Debbie Brown gave us a perfect review. It was what made me want to read this story...a mash up of the movie, Big, and P&P.
Elizabeth continues to have those caring qualities but as per canon she has been poisoned by Wickham’s charm and his tales of woe. Darcy is enchanted by her but when they dance at the Netherfield Ball, her remarks bring out the worst as he can’t fully defend himself without slandering his sister’s reputation. Darcy departs the ballroom and comes upon some travelers hired by Bingley as entertainment: get your fortune told for a shilling. And even if you don't exactly want it told you may find an inner wish comes true. Some of the outcomes of wishes or fortunes told were predictable but not all.
The next day, a new person appears – 10 year old, Page boy, William George, who learns many a lesson about the relationships between servant and the upper classes and the burdens of responsibilities. He stores those memories for what he hopes is his future. I loved how the two housekeepers only saw a need and acted upon such.
Caroline is amusing…acting as we expect but when faced with a ragamuffin “page” her behavior crosses the line and I was so glad to read how that turned around and bit her in the rear.
Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are mostly as we know them but we do read of a side of the lady in which she shows us that she can have empathy for those of less fortune. But I believe that a favorite part is the role of the young Oliver Robbins who becomes a fishing buddy and shares some opinions with William.
The best part for me was at the end and I did have tears in my eyes. Sweet romantic moments and then Georgiana brings something from the Darcy home and the family’s past which gives Elizabeth a treasure for always. So lovely!

This is simply a wonderful, UNIQUE, fun, sweet, clever P&P what if. It also reminds you to be careful what you wish for you just might get it.
Beginning at the Netherfield Ball, where Bingley has hired a band of Roma to entertain his guests Miss Zolta is reading palms and granted wishes for a shilling. Mr.Darcy's unspoken wish gives him a new perspective on the people and the world around him. As well as giving him a chance to improve Lizzy's opinion.
It is just a fun story from start to end.

Random Wishes Bring Brilliant Dreams
Ms Leigh has brought us a delightful mashup of "Big" and Pride & Prejudice. She offers the classic gypsy fortune teller scenario which transforms Darcy into a ten year old. In this form he is able to wander through the world and observe the kindness of many and the vileness of a few. His transformation into the man Lizzy loves is richly portrayed. Leigh is a wonderful writer. The book read like butter. But, I am afraid that we cannot hope to see Tom Hanks as Darcy (grin).

So we'll written, I couldn't believe it when I got to the end. Didn't want it to finish.
An intriguing idea, like the opposite of 'Big'. Darcy is granted a wish he didn't even realize he had made. When he wakes up as a 10 yo child again at Netherfield, at the mercies of the adults. With no Bingley to assist him, he finds kindness from the unlikeliest places and viciousness from a shocking source. Elizabeth is his main partner in crime and in overcoming this challenge both Darcy and Elizabeth learn about themselves and each other, not to mention what it means to truly love.

As I told a friend, I liked the story, it's very sweet, but, IMO, nothing spectacular. It was nice to see Mr. Darcy as a little boy and what I most enjoyed about the story was his interactions with the servants.
In other hand, with a boy being the main character in the majority of the book, we had little romance and I didn't understand much why Elizabeth fell in love with him.
But my great doubt lays on the cover. I didn't understand that peacock at all!

I wish that I was free from my responsibilities. These words haunt Fitzwilliam Darcy as he must learn who his real friends are, who he can count on, and who loves him. It is a light quick story that has childhood joy and adult appreciation for ones blessings.

Great story. Darcy learned his lesson in humility, and found out about kindness in an unusual way. A bit of gypsy magic helped him to gain a new perspective in life. I loved Lizzy and William's interactions, Mrs. Nichols and Hill's good heart, and even gruff Netherfield's groom. Caroline showed her true colors and got her just deserts. I loved all the characters of little consequence, who showed to be much better quality than so called 'quality' society.
I highly recommend this light and amusing story.

A wonderful story!
Such a lovely tale about change in perspective, recapturing childhood, appreciating people's kindness and finding true love.
A new favorite that I'm sure I'll enjoy reading again.

What a delightful story! Have you ever noticed that the presence of a child multiplies the sweetness of a story? I loved the unique way in which the author cut down Darcy to size. Have to add it to my reread list.

Time to suspend belief
I was getting ready to quit this story after the first few chapters, as it was pretty much a narrative summary of the beginning of P&P, with little dialogue and really nothing new. It wasn't until about chapter 3 that something happens, so you have to get past the boring parts at the start. A fortune teller is at the Netherfield ball, and grants Darcy a wish he doesn't remember making, and he wakes up the next day as a 10 year old boy.
The gist of the story is to be careful what you wish for, and try to appreciate what you already have. Darcy, as a young boy, has no standing, and no one to look out for him. He's dependent on the kindness of servants and Elizabeth Bennett, to whom he confides his dilemma and is believed after telling her things that only Darcy would know. He is provided with clothing, food, and shelter by kindly people, and he quickly learns the true value of persons he never before considered, and he also learns about how difficult it is to be a young boy with no parents and no social standing.
This is not great literature, and it's extremely whimsical. If you can suspend belief and just go with it, this is an entertaining but simple story. The relationship of Elizabeth and the young boy William is a sweet one, wherein Darcy discovers Elizabeth's true worth, and Elizabeth discovers the vulnerability behind Darcy's stern facade.
The book is well written and well edited, with the aforementioned exception of the beginning, which was just a tedious narrative. I recommend it as a light and fantastical tale, a pleasant way to pass a few hours.

Darcy's Big Wish
Enjoyable story and cleverly written, but if fantasy is not your cup of tea, then this book might not be for you. The night of the Netherfield Ball, Bingley hired gypsy travelers to entertain the guests as they wandered about the rooms and gardens. As Darcy is watching several young men being silly and laughing with the gypsy fortune teller, he wishes that he didn't have any of his responsibilities so he could be carefree, too. As she passes he refuses to have his palm read, offers her a coin, and she tells him that his wish will be granted. Quess what? Darcy got his wish as woke up as a 10 year old boy. No responsibilities, just what he wanted! Escaping Netherfield, Darcy wonders who is going to help him undo the mess he's unwittingly created. Bingley's in London, he can't trust Caroline or the Hursts, and he really has made no friends in Meryton. He meets Elizabeth Bennet on his pathway and decides that because she is a caring young lady that he just happens to like and respect, he will ask her for help. Convincing her that he is Fitzwilliam Darcy is difficult to do, but eventually his proud self shows through and she believes him. Besides helping him find others that fit, she suggests a plausible scenario as to who he is and why he is in Meryton, and helps him track down the gypsy travelers. Over the days spent as a 10 year old, Darcy's personality changes, he meets and makes friends with people below his station, falls more in love with Elizabeth, and cleverly exposes Wickham's perfidy. When he finally meets the fortune teller his wish to turn back to an adult is granted. Before leaving for London to get Georgiana to return with him to Meryton, Darcy tells Elizabeth how he feels. Thank goodness her feelings are like his, and we are not subjected to the Hunsford proposal. There are funny scenes throughout as Darcy tries to convince the adults that he is Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley in Derbyshire. He rewards those people that befriended him as the 10 William George, Darcy's page, and cuts those from his life that hurt him. You'll have to read the story to find out who fell into which group. HEA for ODC.

Didn't care for young Darcy as an foundling
I didn't start enjoying this story until Darcy became a man once again. I truly tried (and did) suspend belief, but I has a hard time understanding how Darcy wishing to be a carefree, young man without responsibilities results in him becoming a ten year old orphan boy. As a boy Darcy is knocked around by some servants and have to depend on the goodness of strangers for shelter, clothing and food. Considering Darcy is suppose to be known for his kindness as a master and treating his servants well I didn't understand why he would have to suffer through that and wondered how that lesson applied to responsibility.
I'm my opinion that was a lesson that should have been applied to Caroline. I can picture her being a scullery maid. Btw- the lady Zolta is more than a fortune teller. I would also consider her a genie since she also grants wishes as well as tell fortunes.

A fanfic dot net writer with a few published books and short stories. This one was a fantasy cross with Big; a clever idea but a little stretched. Enjoyable enough for free stories (This is on kindle unlimited) but somewhat stilted writing. If you read more than one story there is a lot of repetition. This is a fantasy so unsurprisingly required some suspension of disbelief but all her stories tend to skip over awkward bits of the plot, which hinders the enjoyment for me.

Adorable
An alternate universe echoing the plot of the film "Big", the twist is that Darcy is changed to a 10 year old body, but remains himself in his character. Lots of silly situations, cute dialogue and romance as Lizzy helps Darcy grow into her love. Very sweet story!

Be careful what you wish for. Everybody makes wishes but Darcy's goes a tad sideways at a ball -- with a little help our dear couple get an excellent HEA. No angst. A sweet and simple fairy tale.

This was a cute Pride and Prejudice variation. The plot-Fitzwilliam Darcy wakes up one day after seeing a fortune-teller as a young boy. He then has to go through his days in a way he's never been accustomed to-no power, no respect.
