Sense and Sensibility -- Jane Austen

<b>Continuing the wildly successful Puffin in Bloom line of classics--illustrated by Anna Bond, the artist behind the renowned lifestyle brand Rifle Paper Co.</b> <p/>Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby, she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo.

Through their parallel experience of love-- and its threatened loss--the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Jane Austen<br><b>Publisher:</b> Puffin Books<br><b>Published:</b> 02/13/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 448<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.91lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.25h x 5.15w x 1.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780593622469<br><b>Age Range:</b> 12-UP<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775, at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish.
