Description

The adored children's classic Goodnight Moon gets a classic lit makeover in this charming parody of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice novel. All of Austen's much-loved characters are at the Netherfield Ball.

In the great ballroom, there was a country dance, and a well-played tune, and Elizabeth Bennett; and Mr. Darcy surprised, by a pair of fine eyes . . . And don't forget Jane with a blush and Mr. Bingley turned to mush, and a gossiping mother and father saying hush.

Parents and toddlers alike will enjoy this new take on Austen's timeless work à la Goodnight Moon.

Reviews

"This delightful book calls itself a parody, rather than an adaptation. While I agree that it isn't quite a thorough adaptation, it is quite soothing and bids "goodnight" to all of our favorite characters and locations. "Good night hopeful / good night pretty / good night fine eyes /and good night witty." What poetry! About our book. I mean Jane Austen's book, of course. I shall buy a copy for every night of the week to read to myself before bed."
