- Experience one of Jane Austen's most beloved novels in a breathtaking collector's edition illustrated by Marjolein Bastin. The Marjolein Bastin Classics Series presents timeless classic literature in collectible volumes, luxuriously illustrated with the elegant botanical artwork of Marjolein Bastin. Bastin's series features thoughtfully designed, period-inspired ephemera, including full-color maps, family trees, letters, and sheet music, transforming Austen's story of love, family, and resilience into a beautiful keepsake to read, treasure, and display. The happy and carefree childhood of sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood comes to an abrupt end with the death of their father. The family is suddenly penniless and pushed out of their home, leaving the two young ladies with one sole hope: a good marriage. After moving into the cottage of a remote relative, the spirited Marianne falls in love much too quickly. In the meantime, the more intellectual Elinor sees her chances for a happy marriage fade when she discovers the man for whom she's fallen is already engaged. Sense and Sensibility is the story of two dissimilar sisters fighting for their happiness in the face of the strict social conventions of early eighteenth-century England. Whether you're discovering Sense and Sensibility for the first time or returning to a lifelong favorite, this edition offers an immersive reading experience of one of the best novels ever written.

- About The Author
- Marjolein Bastin's passion for the natural world is of a universal quality that appeals to people the world over. You can find Marjolein's artwork on greeting cards, calendars, dinnerware, bedding, gifts, and many other products. But for Marjolein, only one thing remains important: spend every day behind her desk painting the natural world around her. She also writes and illustrates children's books featuring the endearing Vera the Mouse character, which she created. Through her art and words, Marjolein offers people a simple reminder to pause and enjoy nature and allow it to be a source of serenity, energy, and healing. Finding inspiration in a bird lighting on a branch or a leaf drying in the autumn sun, Marjolein takes long walks each afternoon to seek new ideas for her artwork and her writings. Marjolein and her husband, Gaston, divide their time between country homes in Holland, Switzerland, and in Missouri, as well a tropical retreat in the Cayman Islands. Each setting provides a unique glimpse of what nature has to offer throughout the world. The couple has a son, Mischa, a daughter, Sanna, and two grandchildren.
