THE STORY BEHIND IT
In Jane Austen's 1813 novel, Mr. Collins proposes to Elizabeth Bennet, and after she turns him down he is engaged to her friend Charlotte Lucas within about three days.

Great for book clubs, English teachers, librarians, Jane Austen fans and anyone who has watched a friend rush into romance. A funny gift for readers who love an awkward suitor.

In Pride and Prejudice (1813), the pompous clergyman Mr Collins comes to Longbourn looking for a wife. He proposes to Elizabeth, is turned down, and is engaged to her friend Charlotte Lucas within a few days. This chibi version is ready with his speech and his sermons. The watercolor-style illustration has inky black, crisp white and rosy cheeks.
