Nové prerozprávanie slávneho románu Jane Austenovej s úsmevnými ilustráciami Elizabeta Bennetová je druhá najstaršia z piatich sestier. Matka veľmi túži vydať všetky svoje dcéry čo najlepšie, no Elizabeta je odhodlaná uzavrieť manželstvo iba z čistej lásky, nie pre peniaze. Na plese sa zoznámi s pánom Darcym, ktorého spočiatku považuje za pyšného a nadutého, čomu veľmi nepomôže ani jeho pohŕdavá poznámka o Elizabetinej sestre. Časom sa však ukáže, že prvý dojem neraz klame... Katherine Woodfine je od mladosti veľkou fanúšičkou Jane Austenovej, preto má výborné predpoklady na to, aby sestry Bennetové priblížila novému mladšiemu publiku. Églantine Ceulemans zachytáva Austenovej satiru a vtip a oživuje živelnosť jej prepracovaných postáv vo vtipných čiernobielych ilustráciách. Pre deti od 8 rokov Z anglického originálu preložila Zdenka Buntová.
