Darcy’s Story Paperback – 15 August 2006
Pride And Prejudice, written by Jane Austen in 1813, is widely considered to be one of the best-written and most-loved books of all time, often heading reading lists even today.The book was followed by my many adaptations of the story. In this case, Darcy’s Story was written by Janet Aylmer and aims to answer the questions of anyone who may have asked about the perspective of one of the important characters in the original novel, Mr Darcy. Elizabeth Bennet initially found Mr Darcy to be rude, distant and proud in spite of what the other ladies thought of him. A rich man, he owned a sprawling estate in Derbyshire and earned thousands of pounds a year. Yet, in the original, Mr Darcy remained something of an enigma. The author of Darcy’s Story has written the book to put across her idea of what the story would have been like from Darcy’s point of view, while maintaining a healthy respect for Jane Austen’s original writing. One of the world’s greatest love stories takes on a transformation through the sequence of events as seen by Mr Darcy himself. Through this book, a beloved character from a classic novel becomes an even more compelling new persona. The book comes as a first edition paperback that was published by William Morrow Paperbacks in 2006. Key Features: Darcy’s Story is a retelling of Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen, from Mr Darcy’s point of view.
