Pride and Prejudice by JANE AUSTEN abridged by HONOR WYATT
Read by Eileen Atkins
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife; and when the handsome Mr Bingley comes to live at Netherfield Hall Mrs Bennet 's first concern is that he should marry one of her five daughters. His friend Mr Darcv is even more handsome and has flO,000 a year; but she discovers him to be proud and above being pleased by any lady. She quite detests the man.
Producer PATRICIA BRENT (First of 28 instalments)
