Gems of literature in a luxurious and unique design by Marjolein Bastin. The Marjolein Bastin Classics Series is a chance to rediscover classic literature in collectible, luxuriously illustrated volumes. For the first time ever, the internationally celebrated artwork of Marjolein Bastin graces the pages of not just one, but three of Jane Austen’s unfinished works—Sanditon, Lady Susan, and The Watsons—making it an absolute must-have for every Austen fan. Beyond bringing these stories to life, Bastin’s series adds elaborately designed ephemera, such as four-color maps, letters, family trees, and sheet music. Three unfinished novels, three very different stories: While the young Emma in The Watsons has to return to her impoverished family and come to terms with completely new life circumstances, Lady Susan is already a seasoned woman. In this sharp-tongued epistolary novel, the widow seems to achieve every amorous goal with as much charm as guile. The outline for Sanditon presents numerous endearing and quirky characters who make the picturesque coastal town in Sussex an interesting vacation destination and the setting for all kinds of romantic entanglements. The stories are complemented by Jane Austen’s juvenilia, consisting of stage plays, stories and ideas that the author wrote down between the ages of 11 and 17. They bear witness to great creativity, imagination, wit and the desire to surprise and provoke her readers. In this decorative edition, the unfinished novels and youthful works of the world-famous author appear together for the first time—in a new translation and lavishly illustrated by Marjolein Bastin. Whether an ideal gift for a Jane Austen devotee or a treat for yourself, the Marjolein Bastin Classics Series—as a set or individually purchased—is perfect for anyone who feels a connection to enduring literary gems.

The story follows the life of Jane Eyre, who is orphaned and sent to live with her cruel Aunt Reed at Gateshead. Despite facing hardships at the Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre remains unbroken in spirit and integrity. After taking on the role of governess at Thornfield Hall, Jane meets and falls in love with Mr Rochester. However, their love faces obstacles when Jane discovers an impediment to their lawful marriage.
