When fashionable London types take up residence in the great manor house at Netherfield Park, the whole village of Meryton is sent into a spin.

Mrs Bennet, mistress of Longbourn, is determined to marry off her five daughters to the nearest, richest men she can find.

Her second daughter, Elizabeth, would like to marry for love, but affection can be hard to muster when some eligible bachelors, like Mr Darcy, seem positively rude...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen’s story is the most beloved romance in literature.
