In 2013 Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice turns 200. Again and again in polls conducted around the world, it is regularly chosen as the favourite novel of all time. Here is the tale of how Pride and Prejudice came to be written, its first reception in a world that didn't take much notice of it and then its growing popularity leading up to Colin Firth mania and a best-selling zombie mash-up.

Pride and Prejudice has morphed into many strange and interesting forms – movies and TV adaptations, sequels, prequels and modernisations. Happily Ever After explores these, and the wilder shores of horror, murder mystery, pornography, dating manuals, Tshirt slogans, tourism and therapy.
