It's well established in the book that Mrs Bennett was a beauty "in her youth" so this illustration made me laugh. At the time of the novel she'd likely be 45 at most (probably closer to 40) yet this artist chose to make her look a great deal older. ?

KadaGul I think 🤔 at the time, 40 seemed like 90🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 4w
Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm really noticing now that at 58 I'm older than all the 'old' characters. 😄 4w
bookandbedandtea @KadaGul Right! I used to think it was due to the lower life expectancy but then I learned that number is due to the high rate of childhood death. Once a person reached adulthood there was every reason to think they'd live into old age so the view of people Mrs Bennet's age being old still strikes me as weird. 🤔 4w
bookandbedandtea @Crinoline_Laphroaig Same! I'm 56 and it's always a bit of a shock to realize that some old person in a book is a good deal younger than I am! 🤦‍♀️😆 4w

#Pemberlittens Chiltern Classic another that needs added to the database. ?

"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine." - Chapter 5

#Pemberlittens today's Pride and Prejudice is beautiful edition that includes recipes from Martha Stewart and the most amazing cookie art.

I was craving a classic afternoon tea so in my cup is Twinings English Afternoon tea. ???

I absolutely delighted in reading this book. Fantastic from beginning to end, I can‘t wait to read all of Austen.

I have to highlight on of my P&P books for #soldiers , as I immediately think of the regiment stationed in Meryton, and of course Wickham, the soldier we all love to hate! This edition features recipes from Martha Stewart between the chapters of P&P. It‘s colorful! #200PnPCovers

mabell I have never come across the Martha Stewart edition! I didn‘t even know there was such a thing! (Though I should have guessed 😆) 3y
CrowCAH It‘s a beautiful edition, one in my collection! 😁 3y

It‘s a beautiful morning to be outside with my book and coffee. I‘m not sure about this book. It‘s ok but I think it‘s a bit slower moving than the kind of books I am used to.

Starting this beautiful book today. We will see how this goes. I sometimes have a hard time reading these older books.

Thousand-Lives What a gorgeous cover! 4y
