The Adventures of Miss Anne de Bourgh of Rosings: A Pride and Prejudice Prequel to Mr. Darcy's Bookshop

Pride & Prejudice Variations

By: Summer Hanford

Narrated by: Stevie Zimmerman

Please Note: This is a short story.

Miss Anne de Bourgh is the son her father always wanted, except for one rather large detail. Still, her being a girl doesn’t stop her from hunting, shooting, riding, and fencing as well as her cousins, and when her older cousin Henry wrongs her, Anne ropes Darcy and Richard into a scheme to exact revenge. But Anne is about to learn that even her father, who has always encouraged her in all her pursuits, thinks she’s gone too far this time, and his punishment will be dire indeed. That’s right, it’s time for Anne to meet her greatest adversary . . . Mrs. Jenkinson. The Adventures of Miss Anne de Bourgh of Rosings is a short story prequel to Mr. Darcy’s Bookshop. Enjoy!

Cute story

Interesting variation where all the Uncles are alive. I really liked how Anne was portrayed, it was nice to see her so healthy and vibrant.

Anne de Bourgh as a young girl

A delightful short story that focuses on a tomboyish Anne de Bourgh and her cousins, Fitzwilliam Darcy and Richard Fitzwilliam as young teenagers who are all motherless and being raised by their fathers. It seems Anne needs a lesson in comportment and becoming a lady.

Summer Hanford tells a sweet tale here as a prequel to Mr. Darcy’s bookshop, which I also highly recommend.
