"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
In early autumn 1811, two eminently eligible gentlemen come to stay near Longbourn, the home of Elizabeth Bennet and her sister Jane. Thus begins Jane Austen's enduring masterpiece of manners and romance. So too begins An Austen Armoire, a cozy game that invites Austen fans of all ages to play, read, make, and share in the world of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.
