We'd like to wish Mr. Darcy a very happy birthday, as January 2013 is the 200th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice, one of Jane Austen's most beloved novels. (Mr. Darcy is looking pretty good for his age, wouldn't you agree?)
We adore the BBC adaptation (who wouldn't swoon with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy?) , and if you're not following The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, you really should be; but being bookaholics, we have a decided preference for the print version – especially if they add style to one's bookshelf.
So if you want your very own Mr. Darcy, here are a few editions to add flair and elegance to your library...
Oh, and you'll also find more Mr. Darcy in our Pride & Prejudice shop.
