A fresh, funny and accessible retelling of Jane Austen's classic
story, with witty black and white illustrations throughout.
When Elinor and Marianne Dashwood's father dies, they are forced to
leave their home behind and move far away to a tiny cottage. Their lives
look set to change for ever, in ways neither had expected.
Elinor must leave behind the man she loves, whereas Marianne falls for
their charming - but entirely unsuitable - new neighbour.
The sisters will need each other's support if they are to find
happiness, but will they ever find the right balance of sense and
sensibility?
