Description
Part of the Chiltern Classics range.
Sense and Sensibility reveals the contrasting characters of the Dashwood sisters; Elinor's cool reason and Marianne's more demonstrative nature come to the fore when their father, Henry, dies, and they face being uprooted from the family home. For Elinor and Marianne, salvation lies in making a suitable match, but both must overcome adversity. Elinor strikes up an attachment with Edward Ferrars, who harbours a secret that constrains his commitment, while Marianne falls for a penniless charmer who ultimately throws her over for a rich heiress.
Chiltern are publishers of exquisitely crafted editions of the world's finest classic literature. These beautiful books are a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques. With wonderful original, detailed and embossed covers, sparkling gilt edges, cream art paper, ribbon markers, and stitched binding, they are simply the most beautiful classics ever published.
This book has a matching lined journal (sold separately). They make a great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their own.
