Lisa · Answer

Pride & Prejudice...I'm a school librarian who also hasn't read many classics, horrifically :-) We have a Collins Classic (I think) version in the school library which has a whole heap of background information pages, a story timeline and a glossary at the bottom of each page for any 'dated' terms. It helped me get through it much easier and I found it quite comical.
