Sense and Sensibility

<p><b>A gorgeous new pocket-sized special edition bound in real cloth with foiled edges and a ribbon marker to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen&rsquo;s birth in 2025. The designs are inspired by Jane Austen&rsquo;s life and work.</b><br><br>Two sisters of opposing temperament but who share the pangs of tragic love provide the subjects for Jane Austen&rsquo;s <i>Sense and Sensibility.</i> Elinor, practical and conventional, the epitome of sense, desires a man who is promised to another woman. Marianne, emotional and sentimental, the epitome of sensibility, loses her heart to a scoundrel who jilts her. A powerful drama of family life and growing up, <i>Sense and Sensibility</i> is at once a subtle comedy of manners and a striking critique of early nineteenth-century society.<br><br>With original illustrations by the celebrated Hugh Thomson and bonus material about the design.</p>
