Cozy up for a tour of six Pride and Prejudice stories in a variety of flavours. This collection encompasses six different forms from play to epistolary novella. Enjoy as we push the boundaries of propriety, stubbornness, pride, and even absurdity. From the silly to the sweet to the serious, this collection appeals to everyone.

The Propriety Fiction : Elizabeth Bennet enters the Netherfield Ball with a desperate plan in mind, willing to break, or at least bend, all the rules of propriety just to save herself, no matter the cost.

The Sounds of Silence : What happens when the intervention of a mysterious benefactor helps Mr Darcy learn the folly of slighting a lady very soon after the event, and he subsequently tries his best to make amends? Will he be able to overcome the bad start, or will his overtures be met with the sounds of silence?

Letters From Cheapside : After Elizabeth Bennet is thrown out of Longbourn by her mother over her refusal of Mr. Collins, she returns to Cheapside with her aunt and uncle, then begins a long correspondence with her sisters. How long will it go on? How long will she be banished from her childhood home? What other mysteries await?

The Bad Lot : When Mr Collins takes a couple weeks to work up his nerve to propose, Lizzy hears Mr Collins’s proposal long after she knows the Netherfield party has decamped, Jane has gone to London leaving her alone, and Wickham has moved his attentions to Mary King. She therefore has a much more cynical view of the Netherfield party, her matrimonial prospects, and perhaps even…

The Propriety Advisor : Since the rules of propriety are sort of like laws, what happens when you violate one… or two… or maybe more? What happens if two different people break the code? Do they cancel each other out, or do you have two wrongs don’t make a right? If any of this unclear, do you need a referee or umpire… or maybe a Propriety Advisor.

The Wedding Afternoon : Ever wonder what happened during the ever-important interval between the wedding breakfast and the wedding night? Let’s find out!
