One of Austen’s best-loved novels, Pride and Prejudice offers Pearson Edexcel International GCSE students an array of enchanting characters and a story full of intrigue and humour.

This Study Guide inspires me... The author clearly loves Pride and Prejudice, but, more importantly, knows and communicates why 16 year olds should also love it. A superb resource. J Whitbread, English Teacher & Independent Reviewer (feedback for previous GCSE edition)
