Scholastic Readers 3: Pride and Prejudice

Intermediate Level

Mr and Mrs Bennet have five daughters. All of them are young, most of them are beautiful and, most importantly, all of them are unmarried. When Mr Bingley and his rich but proud friend Mr Darcy arrive in Netherfield, Mrs Bennet and her daughters are very excited. But as Jane and Mr Bingley become closer, why do Mr Bingley’s feelings suddenly appear to change? And why does Mr Darcy act so coldly towards Elizabeth – and the charming Mr Wickham?

The reader is illustrated with full-colour stills from the recent 2005 movie starring Keira Knightley.
