A look at some of the sequels and spin-offs

Jane Austen's "own darling child" Pride and Prejudice is celebrating its 200th birthday.

Although out of copyright and available for free on e-readers, it is estimated that Pride and Prejudice sells up to 50,000 copies each year in the UK alone.

And the past decade has seen an explosion in sequels and spin-offs.
