Story5 out of 5 stars 907
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

What do the experts say?
Audible for Dogs was inspired by an independent study by Hartpury College in the UK. The study suggests listening to audiobooks can positively influence kenneled dogs’ behaviour, spending less time alert and more time resting compared to other audio influences like music (Hartpury University Centre, Department of Animal and Land Sciences, The effects of audiobooks on the behaviour of dogs at rehoming kennels, Nov 2015).
