Description

A hilarious mash-up of cats and Austen.
What if Jane Austen'sPride and Prejudicewas told from a cat's point of view On the heels of smash hits likePride and Prejudice and ZombiesandI Can Has Cheezburger, this hilarious mash-up by children's author Pamela Jane and photographer Deborah Guyol spins a fresh, quirky take on two of the things we just can't get enough of: classic cats and classic Jane.
Pride and Prejudice and Kittiesjuxtaposes wacky photos of cats with the wicked humor of Jane Austen. Soulful Mr. Darcy gazes at Elizabeth Bennet in fascination; hysterical Mrs. Bennet yowls that no one understands her; somnolent Mr. Hurst passes out on the sofa after dinner; arrogant Lady Catherine hisses at Elizabeth. Each photo includes a hilarious caption that goes along with the text ofPride and Prejudice, told from a feline perspective.
Pride and Prejudice and Kittiesis a book for cat-lovers, Austen-lovers, and people who love to laughin other words, just about everyone.
