AWESOMELY AUSTEN - ILLUSTRATED AND RETOLD JANE ...

A fresh  funny and accessible retelling of Jane Austen's classic story  with witty black and
white illustrations throughout. Catherine Morland loves nothing more than reading a romantic
novel  but as one of ten children she doesn't have much time for reading or for romance. When
she is seventeen  her wealthy neighbours invite her to spend the winter season with them in
Bath - to experience balls  the theatre and other social delights for the first time. Catherine
makes friends with the passionate Isabella  and dances with a handsome man called Henry  and it
seems that all her dreams are coming true. But real life doesn't always play out like a novel 
and Catherine will have to overcome many obstacles before she can find her happy ending ...

to rewrite and he's excited to introduce Catherine Morland to a whole new raft of readers.

life with warm and funny black and white illustrations. Illustrated and retold editions are
