Pride and Prejudice: The Complete Novel, with Nineteen Letters from the Characters' Correspondence, Written and Folded by Hand (Handwritten Classics)

My daughter and I are Austin fans and I have read the books many times. However we always like a little something different and this is perfect. Being able to hold and read the letters felt perfect, letting you feel like your part of the story. Beautifully written and styled, placed perfectly in the chapters. My daughter has this now and cannot contain her excitement about it. She is dyslexic and for many years struggled with reading, so for her to be so excited about a book was heartwarming. Thank you to the wonderful people whom created this!

Such a sweet idea. I absolutely love this book. Great for a present

This is a charming idea, and very well executed. The letters are in pockets in appropriate places in the book. They are printed from hand-written letters, written by calligraphers using period-appropriate hands. They appear handwritten unless you get close enough to see the printing dots. The attention to detail is superb, including period-appropriate post marks and traces of wax seals. They are even folded according to the customs of the period! Well done indeed. If there's a criticism, perhaps they are written a bit neater than one would expect in real life, but still there are corrections and cross-outs and ink blots to be had, so I can't complain too much. Aside from the letters, the book itself is very nicely bound and printed. I have several copies of "Pride and Prejudice" already, ranging from ratty reading copies to fancy bound ones, and this one is certainly worth adding to the collection. Anyone wondering if this would be a good gift for an Austen-mad friend, yes, it will be. Anyone who loves Jane Austen is going to love this, almost guaranteed. I should also mention that where the editor has invented words to flesh out the letters (some of the letters are referred to in the original text but not quoted verbatim, so she had to embellish), it fits very well. I have not yet read them all, but the ones I've been through have no jarring anachronisms.

On the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen, this is the perfect addition to the bookshelves of any Jane Austen fan. The facsimile correspondence are a fabulous inclusion in the bookshelves and add to the charm of an already iconic novel. For a secondhand copy this was in exceptional condition, I would almost think it was brand new. It arrived before the estimated dates. As a beloved book that I have read many times since studying for o’level, I have a few editions of pride and prejudice back to my o’level text and this will be a cherished addition to my collection

Really lovely book with letters enclosed.

Great quality

If I could give this book one hundred stars I would. Of course most people know the story of Pride and Predjudice , it is virtually perfect in it's construction already but this edition contains all of the letters that are in the text as actual real objects. So read the letter Jane sends home to tell them she is ill after travelling in the rain to Netherfield (Much to Mrs Bennet's delight) , read Mr Collin's letter arranging to visit and make ammends for the entailment, read Lydia's elopement note from Brighton but most importantly of all read Darcy's letter to Elizabeth explaining his relationship with Wickham that begins to turn the tide in his favour. My husband jokingly said this is like "The Jolly Postman" for adults and in a way it is but it is so beautifully presented with each handwritten letter in a silken envelope in it's rightly place in the narrative that it is so much more than just a gimmick. If you are a fan of Austen then you will also understand that absolute delight that comes from immersing yourself even deeper into this wonderful story.

Really loved the letters which added to my enjoyment of my favorite book - already looking forward to re-reading it again in a couple of years time!

The packages arrived earlier than I expected!!! The quality was very nice!! If you're thinking of buying, you should!!! These will worth your money I swear:)

Beautiful with all the ”real” letters

First of all the cover is so nice. The paper too. But the envelopes are out of this world!!!!! You know how reading takes you to another world? Well the letters makes it even better, the font, the kind of paper and the ink. It’s totally worth it.

Delivery was faster than expected. I really like the art and the handwritten letters in the book. The letters make the book slightly bulky but it is a nice touch to a classic story.

L’ho preso come regalo a me stessa, perché volevo tanto avere una bella edizione del mio libro preferito. Che dire.. la cura ai dettagli, le repliche delle lettere.. Tutto è splendido.. È la gemme della mia collezione di libri ♥️
