Jane Eyre: Illustrations by Marjolein Bastin (Marjolein Bastin Classics Series)

It’s so thicc and is really big. The cover is like cardboard so it can get water damaged but overall it’s really good. Very pretty 😩

A stunning edition of one of my favourite books. The only issue is the cover. It seems quite fragile so I wouldn’t carry it around. Otherwise, I like the ivory pages, the font and the watercolour illustration. I haven’t found any typos (yet).

Absolutely beautiful book. Extra surprises inside and lovely illustrations.

‘Jane Eyre’ by Charlotte Brontë is not only considered a classic of nineteenth-century literature but subsequently has become a template for Gothic romance that continues to inform fiction written today.This beautifully presented volume is part of the Marjolein Bastin Classics Series just published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. Marjolein Bastin is a celebrated nature artist and her exquisitely detailed full colour illustrations of flora and fauna are found scattered throughout this novel.Undoubtedly this would make a lovely gift or be a beautiful addition to any home library.I am grateful to the publisher for a temporary digital review copy of this volume and I have added its hardback edition to my birthday wish list as it is one that I would love to add to my bookshelf.

A superbly beautiful edition of the classic, with a plethora of very aesthetic pull outs inserted between the pages. A feast for the eyes!

You’ll find some pretty cool surprises within. Very well done. Great addition.

Its absolutely a beautiful book and a great gift for Jane Eyre fans.

Ho acquistato questa nuova versione, collezionabile cosi' come altri romanzi della stessa collana, del mio romanzo preferito perché la trovo preziosa. All'interno del libro, posizionate tra le pagine, seguendo gli eventi della vita di Jane, si trovano alcuni regali per il lettore come una ricetta dell'epoca vittoriana per il dolce che accompagna il tea delle 17 o il manifesto dell'istitutrice. La copertina del libro, cosi' come la costa, con i fiori colorati in rilievo, i regali, i disegni che contornano i caratteri delle pagine e la filigrana della carta scelta, sono curati nei minimi dettagli: un lavoro che impreziosisce, non il romanzo della Bronte che non ha bisogno di presentazione, ma la fantasia del lettore stesso che si immerge in una storia di amore e di vita meravigliosa.

This version is absolutely gorgeous, and I loved getting the letters and other extras included inside the book. It made the story come alive

I have been a die hard Jane Eyre fan since I first read the book back in 7th grade. It's a classic and I fall even more in love with the story every time I read it. I have been collecting illustrated versions for about a decade now and I couldn't be more pleased with this copy. Beautiful illustrations and the fun little surprises sprinkled throughout the book are an absolute delight. If you're a first time reader this is a really nice copy to buy. If you've been a long time fan and have a bit of an obsession with this story, then adding this copy to your library is a must.
