Complete with romance, action, comedy, and an army of shambling corpses, this prequel to the hit mash-up novel will have Jane Austen rolling in her grave—or crawling out of it! Four years before the events of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the Bennet sisters are enjoying a peaceful life in the English countryside, reading, gardening, and daydreaming about future husbands—until a funeral at the local parish goes strangely and horribly awry. Suddenly, corpses are springing from the soft earth—and only one family can stop them. As the bodies pile up, Elizabeth Bennet grows from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. Along the way, two men vie for her affections: Master Hawksworth is the powerful warrior who trains her to kill, while thoughtful Dr. Keckilpenny seeks to conquer the walking dead using science instead of strength. Will either man win the prize of Elizabeth’s heart? Or will their hearts be feasted upon by hordes of marauding zombies?

"You're very welcome!!! I love, love, loved this book!!! I read this one before I read Pride and Prejudice with Zombies because this book takes place when they are children at the start of the zombie outbreak. "

"I have read the book Pride and Prejudice 3 times now....watched the PBS movie twice......and read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.....I really wanted this book to be a bit different from the others for I was getting a bit burned out on the story with or without zombies.<br/><br/>I was THRILLED to find there was not one mention of Mr. Darby thru the entire book (not that I don't LOVE Mr. Darby) which meant this had all the same beloved characters of the Bennett family BUT it was while the girls were all younger and had yet to fall in love for the first time.<br/><br/>This book was hilarious and gruesome and just plain ole fun to read.....zombie literature is just funny for the most part and the combination of Bennett's and Zombies made for quite a treat! The ending prologue is especially rewarding since one of the main characters really shows his true colors and you really hope karma gets him in the end.....<br/><br/>I had a great time with this book and would suggest if you enjoy a little dark humor mixed with a great classic......this would be a good one to read."
