the art of words- Jane Austen style

Pride and Prejudice
(for sale here*)

I really would like to see this poster hanging in my sewing crafty room
I love that it contains the entire story of
Pride and Prejudice
by
Jane Austen 

Whenever I want to read something
and I've already read everything lying around the house
I reach for my copies of Pride and Prejudice
or Sense and Sensibility
I find that every time I re-read them
I understand them better and relate to the leading ladies better

I read them first in high school
and may have been a bit young to understand all the intricacies of the relationships
it's amazing how you can relate to a story published in 1813
and the old style of writing is not hard to follow at all

It might be time to re read all the classics from my high school english classes
