THIS EDITION: Deceptive waste of money

I bought 2 of these for my daughter who is a huge Austen fan. What a disappointment. There are NO, repeat ZERO illustrations of characters or scenes from the novel; instead every few pages has a few insipid drawings of flowers and birdies . That’s it. The “extras” including Darcy’s letter to Elizabeth and maps of Highbury are simply inserted loose between random pages: no pockets to keep them in place and no list or index. The “Emma” extras consist primarily for recipes for some reason, as well as a letter to Austen’s publisher. These would have been just as useful if they had been printed on pages in the book, but most of them aren’t useful at all: there is nothing that contributes to one’s understanding or knowledge of the novels. Huge waste of money. There are better illustrated and annotated editions than this overpriced piffle.

For Emma Collectors

This is a beautiful gift for Jane Austen's fans. The appeal of this book is the life-like illustrations of the flowers, birds, and bees. I was misled by the title which said illustrations. I thought this would be an illustrated novel (graphic novel) with characters illustrated. It will be wise to clarify that the illustrations are nature and non-character specific. I received an eARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Beautiful Edition

This beautiful edition of Brontë's Jane Eyre from The Marjolein Bastin Classics Series is beautifully embellished and illustrated with colorful florals that add a charming touch to this beloved work. The artwork is simply stunning, and a great accompaniment to the unabridged classic novel. It's great for collectors, long-time fans of the work, and new generations discovering these classics. Many thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy.

It’s nice as a gift.

I love Jane Austen as well as the artwork of Marjolein Bastin. However, the description provided did not meet the expectation I had for this book. Since I already own two copies of Emma, I would not buy a copy of this edition unless it was as a nice gift for someone I would be introducing to Jane Austen. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by the publisher and Net Galley but the thoughts expressed are my own.

Would make a great gift

Illustrated edition of Emma is as beautiful as the story itself. I didn’t feel any change made to the story. Good one to own!! Thank you Netgalley for the arc.
