| About the Book |
| I have included a complete chapter by chapter summery of Pride and Prejudice.These summeries are written to give one a basis of the book, not to tell the complete story. This book is written in three volumes, and is about 300 pages long. Because of this, you will have to forgive me that not all of the chapters are up yet. I will be adding each summery as soon as I can. |
