The Bennet family are attending the funeral of a neighbour, when the deceased opens his eyes and sits up! Mr Bennet leaps into action, revealing his warrior past to everyone and his daughters see him in a new light.
Mr Bennet begins teaching his daughters how to slay the zombies that are gathering around Meryton, when a stranger appears and insists he takes over the role of tutor. Meanwhile all the usual matchmaking silliness of Mrs Bennet is going on in the background and Jane believes she has found Mr Right....
I enjoyed the short chapters and illustrations, and the story is told in an easier-to-read style than Austen, however the language has been Americanised and uses some modern terms that they wouldn't have used in the 1800s.
