Collagist Fabe adds flair to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice with 39 original illustrations that accompany the unabridged text. Fabe’s collages overlay bright, watercolor-washed scenes with retro cut-paper figures and objects sampled from fashion magazines from the 1930s to the ’50s. Accompanying each tableau is a quote from the Pride and Prejudice passage that inspired it. Like Austen’s book, Fabe’s work explores arcane customs of beauty and courtship, pageantry and social artifice: in one collage, a housewife holds a tray of drinks while a man sits happily with a sandwich in hand in the distance. While tinged with irony and more than a dash of social commentary, the collages nevertheless have a spirit of glee and evidence deep reverence for the novel. As Fabe describes in a preface, Austen “was a little bit mean—the way real people are mean—so there are both heroes and nincompoops. Family is both beloved and annoying. That is Austen’s genius, her ability to describe people in all their frailty and humor.” This is a sweet and visually appealing homage.

Gr 7 Up-Austen's novel details young woman Elizabeth Bennet's evolution as she discovers what it means to love and be loved and navigates her place in society. Set at the turn of the 19th century, the novel centers around the romance between Elizabeth and landed gentry Fitzwilliam Darcy, while exploring topics like family lineage, pride, and social class. This novel is deemed a classic for its themes of women's empowerment, expression, and the need to survive. It could be an entry point for educators and students to explore these still-relevant issues within the context of the book's historical time and compare them with the present. Elizabeth and Darcy's love story has become a longtime classic due to Austen's wit and understanding of the human condition. As Austen's most well-known work, it is relatable to young people and adults alike.VERDICT A Regency-era, satirical romance with themes that have stood the test of time. A staple for all teen collections.-Ashley Leffel & Darius Phelps
