Then the handsome Mr. Bingley moves to nearby Netherfield Park, and suddenly life is every bit as thrilling as a novel would be. Who will he dance with at the Meryton ball? Who is his haughty friend? Will Lizzy ever receive a marriage proposal? Readers will have to read her diary to find out!

Among her many retellings are The Romans: Gods, Emperors, and Dormice; Ancient Egypt: Tales of Gods and Pharaohs; Greek Myths; Tales from Shakespeare; and More Tales from Shakespeare. Marcia Williams lives in London. Review The enduring appeal of Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice lies at least in part in Elizabeth Bennets piquant observations about her sisters and her neighbors. These take center stage in this smartly conceived abridgement of the novel for a young audience, fashioned as a diary given to "Lizzy" by her father. ... This wry sense of humor animates the text throughout and makes the perennially popular love story not only accessible but thoroughly absorbing for young readers, who will surely be captivated by some aspect of Lizzys tale; after all, who doesnt have an embarrassing family, or wish for true love, or find snooty people tiresome, etc., etc.?
