for Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library a series
of stunning clothbound pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These
beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Gorgeously illustrated by the
celebrated Hugh Thomson this Macmillan Collector's Library edition also includes an afterword
by author and critic Henry Hitchings. Elinor practical and conventional the epitome of sense
desires a man who is promised to another woman. Marianne emotional and sentimental the
epitome of sensibility loses her heart to a scoundrel who jilts her. A powerful drama of

striking critique of early nineteenth-century society.
