Why a Booktrail?
1803: Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have been married for six years.
Death Comes to Pemberley
What you need to know before your trail
The year is 1803, and Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have been married for six years. There are now two handsome and healthy sons in the nursery, Elizabeth’s beloved sister Jane and her husband Bingley live nearby and the orderly world of Pemberley seems unassailable. But all this is threatened when, on the eve of the annual autumn ball, the guests are preparing to retire for the night when a chaise appears, rocking down the path from Pemberley’s wild woodland. As it pulls up, Lydia Wickham – Elizabeth Bennet’s younger, unreliable sister – stumbles out screaming that her husband has been murdered.

Jane Austen’s Bath
There are many places in and around Bath to visit in order to see Jane Austen’s World but to be fair, you feel as if you’re walking in a novel just by being in the city. The houses, gardens spas and the bookshops selling all the Austen books, not to mention the people dressed in period costume who work at the various attractions
