About this listen

For centuries Jane Austen's classic novel, Pride and Prejudice, has been dearly loved he world over. However, few people know the hidden truth about Mr. Darcy's closest friend, the affable Mr. Bingley—who is much more than he appears on first impression.

Mr. Bingley: Just as a Gentleman Ought to Be is the previously untold story of a young man who unwittingly uncovers an evil cabal among the British Empire's aristocracy. Bingley finds himself confronting an enterprise so nefarious, he cannot help but act to redress it, even if it costs him his own reputation and the love of his life, the angelic Miss Jane Bennet.

Follow Mr. Bingley down a rabbit hole of intrigue and corruption, as he fights to protect the country's most vulnerable alongside friends old and new. Can he set things right before he loses Jane forever?

Critic reviews

"Finally, a novel that reveals the true Bingley! Heartily recommend to all Bingley-philes!" (Crispin Bonham-Carter, Mr. Bingley in the BBC Miniseries, Pride & Prejudice)

Even though the premise and the plot are quite over the top and ridiculous at times, it's a very fun, light and entertaining listen. I couldn't stop listening and the voice acting was great.

Very entertaining

I loved the alternative Mr Bingley. What a dark horse. The book was all the more endearing because of the excellent narration of Ben Fensome. What a voice. Brilliant characterisations
Transporting the imagination with such humour and gravity where and when required. Throughly enjoyed every minute.

Overall it was an enjoyable spin-off and I happily listened to the end. I particularly liked the narration. Ben's ability to assume different characters' voices and mannerisms is phenomenal. Some of the language felt a bit anachronistic but it was a minor thing.

Excellent narration of an entertaining story.

I have been following Ben Fensomes version of Pride and Prejudice which has caused me to spit my tea out on more than one occasion. His narration is brilliant and did allow me to overlook a few plot holes in this story. Very enjoyable

Fabulous narration
