About this listen

In "The Holly and the Ivy," a Pride and Prejudice Variation Christmas Novella, Elizabeth Bennet finds herself in the bustling streets of London in late 1812. Unexpectedly, she crosses paths with Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. They last met when Elizabeth vehemently rejected his proposal in March. Although Darcy's letter altered Elizabeth's perceptions, he avoided her, fearing the awkward aftermath.

A chance meeting rekindles their connection, prompting Darcy to embark on a mission to reshape Elizabeth's opinion of him. Seeking counsel from his cousin, the colonel, Darcy learns the art of smiling, complimenting, and giving thoughtful gifts. While shopping for Georgiana Darcy, they encounter a surprise threat from a footpad. Elizabeth is impressed by a new side of Darcy.

Elizabeth returns home to stay with Jane and Bingley. Jane invites Mr. Darcy and his sister to join them at Netherfield for Christmas. However, the scheming Caroline Bingley attempts to manipulate the situation. Thanks to Bingley's intervention, Darcy, and Elizabeth navigate the holiday challenges and reach a mutual understanding.

The symbolism of holly enriches the novella, representing good fortune, rebirth, and happy marriage.
