Description
Most people were blissfully unaware that England was overrun by dragons. Only those born with preternatural hearing could hear and converse with dragonkind, and even those rarely came into their hearing before they were fifteen. It was not Elizabeth's fault that she discovered the truth about dragons when she was only four years-old. It was also not Elizabeth's fault that the old tatzelwurm, Rumblkins, who lived in the woods near Longbourn House befriended her. Really, he would have attached show more himself to anyone who fed him dried cod and scratched behind his ears. So clearly, it could not be her fault when Rumblkins led her to a nest of endangered fairy dragon eggs that the Pendragon Treaty compelled her to save. Unfortunately her father does not agree. Thomas Bennet, dragon-lore expert, faithful member of the dragon-hearing society, the Blue Order, and Keeper of the local wyvern, Longbourn, has a dragon-sized problem on his hands. At eleven years-old, his second-oldest daughter is hopelessly fascinated with all things dragon-related. But his wife and other daughters lack the ability to hear dragons, so the world of the Blue Order must remain hidden from them. Now faced with an abandoned clutch of fairy dragon eggs to care for, the careful balance he walks between the needs of his jealous estate dragon, Elizabeth's incorrigible draw toward dragons and continued secrecy from the rest of the family hangs in jeopardy. If only Elizabeth would be a more conventional child!But how can a girl who shuns traditional ladylike pursuits to play with dragons ever be conventional? Does dragon-hearing society have a place for such an oddity as her? Prequel to Pemberley: Mr. Darcy's DragonJane Austen meets Anne McCaffrey--a must for lovers of Dragon Riders of Pern show lessTags

Imagine Elizabeth Bennett, age 12, with dragons. She is seriously the most adorable! She is constantly befriending dragons without fear. And. They. Love. Her. Apparently, the first time this happened, she was only four. If you need an excuse to fall even more in love with Elizabeth Bennett, this book will do it for you. So good.
This is the first of the series that uses the characters from Pride and Prejudice without following the story or excessive quoting of Austen. And I loved it so much. Benjamin Fife's narration was superb. I am continually amazed with the variety of voices he comes up with.
I received a free copy of the audiobook from StoryOrigin and have reviewed it willingly.

Disclaimer: I received this book as a free review copy from the narrator. Thank you very much.
The story: A prequel to book 1 discussing how Elizabeth met April and Longbourn and how she came to be a member of the Blue Order.
This was a fun story. You get a good look into young Elizabeth's mind and see how she began studying dragons so carefully and working out how to properly communicate with them,. I think it would work just as well if read before the other books as it does when read after.
The narrator: As usual Benjamin Fife knocks it out of the park with his performance! I've said this in previous reviews but his character voices are a joy to listen to and so distinct that I'm never confused about who is talking.

To see a young Elizabeth Bennet growing up through her early teenage years.
It seems that Elizabeth started to hear dragons at the tender age of four.
When she gets called to the Blue Order to answer questions before the Order decides if she can join or not. But the dragons do want Elizabeth to join.
