I love how romantic it looks, I like the illustrations and the letter.

Of course Emma is a great novel and this edition is a great collectible.

I have to say that Emma is my favorite Austen. And I know that I'm in the minority with this one. As the book and the heroine tend to most readers least favorite. Austen was quoted as saying she didn't anyone but herself would like Emma. But I love Emma for the reasons most people don't like her. And quite frankly I think Emma is Austen's rom com. Jane gave us a rom com before authors and readers ever knew that term. And this Illustrated edition of Emma just added to my rereading of my favorite heroine.

Bautifully illustrated.
A bit interesting when she played matchmaker, but feeling a little too long and dry sometimes.

The works of Jane Austen are simply my go to classics. I love her beautiful written stories and characters.
These versions are simply beautiful. I love the illustrations, the way everything is layed out and I really, really want to have this one as actual book on my shelf.

Wunderschöne schmuckausgabe des Klassikers. Lohnt sich daher vor allem als physisches Buch. Übersetzung soweit ich es einschätzen kann gut gelungen, habe das englische Original allerdings nicht gelesen.

Delightfully illustrated, but ultimately lacking as a meaningful addition to the Austen editions. Great for someone who has literally every edition of Emma, but it's pretty much a coffee table book.

Though this is my least favourite austen, Emma still entertains. Austens writing is as beautiful as always and her social criticism has me in hysterics.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. Great classic. I have been wanting these in my collection. Just like P&P the cover is really pretty.

This was a reread of a book that I haven't touched for many years. What a joy to revisit these characters and laugh along at the wit of the icon that is Jane Austen. The illustrations and designs of this editions really elevated this read. Gorgeous!

I think this collectible version of the classic Emma is a great addition to any fan's collection. I know I am looking forward to having both physical copies of Pride and Prejudice and Emma. Many of the illustrations are subtle, but I really like the full pages as well. The style fits the time period and it just makes it even more enjoyable to read. The illustrations are so beautiful!

Vibrant, colourful and beautiful illustrations! I liked how the theme of seasons was being followed and the choice of flora and fauna being used to depict each season. The overall effect is very pleasing to the eyes; however, like I mentioned in my review for the Pride and Prejudice book, when I saw that this book will be an illustrated version, I expected it to contain illustrations of different characters and scenes from the book and was disappointed when I didn't find any. I think it should be considered for any future editions.

My thanks to NetGalley, the publisher Andrews McMeel Publishing for the e-Arc of the book.

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I was privileged enough to recieve 3 advance digital copies from the Marjolein Bastin Classics Series. Her artwork blends perfectly with the books and doesn't overshadow the text. I love floral artwork and am glad that Marjolein chose flowers to be her focus. The books chosen are all time greats, and even though I have copies of them already, I will definitely add the hardcovers to my collection.

Emma Woodhouse is one of Austen's most captivating and vivid characters. Beautiful, spoilt, vain and irrepressibly witty, Emma organizes the lives of the inhabitants of her sleepy little village and plays matchmaker with devastating effect.

This was my first intro to anything written by Janes Austen...and it did not disappoint! Definitely reminded me of the movie Clueless, lol don't judge me. Great book to get you out of a Reading stump!

lovely! i always loved jane austen's works and so many adaptations and versions are out already, yet this one captivated me especially i have the heart for such things as these. i really loved it and would want to have a copy of my own

Great book! I adore Jane Austen The Characters of emma and knightley are great they circle around One another like One of tjose older dance in which The dancers never touched One another

Emma is a fun book and it's really nice to see a character that is somewhat shallow and not perfect. But the main thing that I want to review about this edition is the illustrations, of course!! They were absolutely stunning and gorgeous and it made me excited to finish a chapter just to see the final illustration. They also fit in with the story very well. Gorgeous!

I ended up DNFing this book after the first chapter. After reading Pride and Prejudice and the first chapter of this book I’ve discovered that I am definitely not a fan of Jane Austen. The overall tone of the book and writing style are terrible. And upon discovering that this was much like Austen’s other work showcasing how vapid and shallow women were perceived I chose not to read any further. The illustrations by Marjolein Bastin however were gorgeous which is why I gave the book 1 star.

A beautiful version of a great classic. I can only imagine how stunning this will be in a physical copy as the digital version I bet doesn't do the fabulous illustrations justice

Every time I’ve read EMMA I’ve had a different and more meaningful experience than the next.

This recent time, I listened to the audiobook and read along to this version of the ebook.

Thanks to Netgalley for this gifted copy.

The thing I really love about the book Emma is her unique ability to light up a room and all others around her.

Reading Emma for me helps to lighten up my reading experience. Emma is one of the bright spots I reach for in between all of the horrors and thrillers I often read.

This particular version added to the delightful ness of the the book for me. The illustrations, sprinkled in throughout, were wonderful and not overwhelming or distracting.

It was perfect,

Thanks again!

Beautiful nature illustrations fill this lovely copy of Emma. This is something that, of course, would be much more stunning on the page but I enjoyed looking through the electronic copy I was given. My favorite thing was how the flowers changed throughout the seasons. The Christmas and Michaelmas chapters are some of my favorite and the winter illustrations made me so happy! Especially the mistletoe in the corner. I would have preferred to see illustrations of the characters and setting, but I think this will make a beautiful copy of Jane Austen’s novel.
