Pride and Prejudice a Favorite

A couple of years ago Acorn Hill residents wanted to know more about Jane Austin's stories, especially since Austin was on A&E 's list of the most influential people of the past millennium.

Pride and Prejudice was highly recommended by a friend. Residents committed themselves to watching the six CD set and liked it. After seeing other movies based on Jane Autstin novels, residents talk often about Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennett - characters from Pride and Prejudice, who are sometimes guests at Autumn Fern's tea parties.

Last summer Main House First Lady Mom read Pride and Prejudice to Sarah Daffodil and Nathaniel Barn Loft. Mom didn't enjoy reading Austin out loud but kept at it since Daffodil and Barn Loft enjoyed listening to it.

It is Barn Loft's favorite movie. He was thrilled when he got it for Christmas. Main House President Dad watched and enjoyed it. "It was only right for him to know the story that we all like. Now he can discuss it with us, " Mom said.
