Mr. Wickham is blessed with such happy manners as may ensure his making friends -whether he may be equally capable of
retaining them is less certain.
Mr Wickham is ready to set the record straight. Join Pride and Prejudice’s most roguish gentleman, George Wickham, on the eve of his sixtieth birthday, to lift the sheets on what exactly happened thirty years on from where we left him… And discover his own version of some very famous literary events.
