Here is Volume One of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. Possibly the most famous novel in the world, it’s packed with humour and wry observations about marriage, education, manners and money in Regency England. I persuaded my friend and excellent actor Sally Ann Burnett to read it for Magpie Audio. A quick trip to East Anglia to set up some additional equipment at her studio and me dragging my way through the proofing and editing, and, lo, we have Volume One (of 3).

I do hope fellow diehard Conan Doyle subscribers will give it a listen and share the video with any Austen fans they know. Where there’s a Conan Doyle aficionado there’s often an Austen fan nearby (Opinion only not fully fact checked!)

Please share!

Anyway, this novel needs little introduction and won’t get any from me. Here it is. Enjoy!

The portrait is of Mary Freer, by John Constable.

Read by Sally Ann Burnett.
