Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - Meet the Gardiners

from Jane Austen Bedtime Stories · host Jane Austen Bedtime Pod

It's Christmas at Longbourn, and that means the arrival of the Bennet girls' favorite uncle and aunt: Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner. They're always a warm and wise addition to the family, and now is no different. Mrs. Gardiner's offers to let Jane return with them to London, to help ease the pain of the Bingleys quitting Netherfield (seemingly for good), and her advice for Elizabeth on how to handle Mr. Wickham is as sound as ever. Her comforting presence is a balm to them all, so let it be a balm to you too, as this week's Friday Favorites helps soothe you into a night of peaceful slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
