The classic novel brought to life in full colour! 

In the early 1800s, Jane Eyre’s parents die - leaving young Jane to be looked after by her uncle and aunt; but after the death of her uncle, her aunt and cousins make her life truly miserable. Surely, being sent away to school could only improve things?

Charlotte Brontë’s classic 1847 novel follows the life of Jane Eyre from turbulent childhood into the heartaches of adulthood, and is reminiscent of the author’s own experiences. It was written at the dawn of feminism, when female authors were rare, and books about the lives of women were even rarer. 

A favourite book of many readers, this epub features beautiful hand-painted watercolour artwork by John M. Burns. The traditional approach taken to the art creates a wonderful sensory experience to engage any reader, while staying true to the original prose novel by utilising authentic text and dialogue.
