An Excellent Library is the next colorway from our new Pride & Prejudice Collection, coming to the shop Friday, June 5th at 4pm CT.
When Jane Bennet falls ill at Netherfield, Elizabeth comes to stay and tend to her. In the evening, the group is in the drawing room. Miss Bingley is trying (rather obviously) to attract Mr. Darcy’s attention and appear sophisticated.
She picks up a book (the second volume of one Darcy is reading), quickly grows bored, and then declares dramatically:
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
I do love some good sarcasm!
Inspired by candlelight, worn pages, and shelves overflowing with beloved stories, this warm ivory colorway is soft, elegant, and perfectly at home beside a growing stack of books.
