Called the greatest novel ever written by Malcolm Muggeridge, Pride and Prejudice captures the affections of class-conscious 18th-century English families with matrimonial aims and rivalries. From its famous opening sentence, the story of the Bennet family and of the novels two protagonists, Elizabeth and Darcy, told with a wit that its author feared might prove rather too light and bright, and sparkling, delights its most familiar readers as thoroughly as it does those who encounter it for the first time. Austens characters are universal: they live a truth beyond time, change, or caricature.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born at Steventon, England, and later moved to Bath. She began to write early for her own and her family's amusement. Her novels, set in her own English countryside, depict the daily lives of provincial middle-class families with wry observation, a delicate irony, and a good-humored wit. She is now considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist.

Nadia May has been nominated as an AudioFile Golden Voice five years running and is a winner of thirteen AudioFile Earphones Awards. She is the co-founder of TheatreFirst, a theater company in the San Francisco Bay Area where she currently lives.
