I have loved Jane Eyre since I first read the book as a teenager.
It's a classic and I fall even more in love with the story every time I read it.

Beautiful illustrations and the fun little surprises sprinkled throughout the book are an absolute delight.

If you're a first time reader this is a really nice copy to buy.

If you've been a long time fan and have a bit of an obsession with this story, then adding this copy to your library is a must.

"Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë, in collaboration with Marjolein Bastin's exquisite illustrations, is a true treasure for both classic literature enthusiasts and art lovers alike. This edition combines the timeless narrative of Brontë's masterpiece with the enchanting artwork of Bastin, creating a truly immersive reading experience.

The story of Jane Eyre, a strong-willed and resilient orphan who rises above adversity, has captivated readers for generations. Brontë's prose is rich, emotive, and filled with profound themes of love, independence, and societal constraints. The characters are vividly portrayed, and the romance between Jane and Mr. Rochester is both passionate and enduring.

Marjolein Bastin's illustrations elevate this edition to a work of art. Her detailed and evocative drawings bring the characters and settings to life, enhancing the reader's connection to the story. The inclusion of maps, letters, family trees, and sheet music adds a layer of depth and immersion that is truly unique.

Whether you are a devoted fan of classic literature or a newcomer to the world of Jane Eyre, this edition is a must-have. It beautifully combines the literary genius of Charlotte Brontë with the visual artistry of Marjolein Bastin, making it a perfect gift or a cherished addition to any book collection.

This book is so beautiful! I can't imagine how pretty the physical copy is, since even the kindle version was so pretty. Jane Eyre is a classic story, and these illustrations enhance the experience.

It was alright, a bit boring sometimes i might add. But it might be a it`s me not you kind of thing.

Jane Eyre is, next to the works of Jane Austen, one of my favourite classics. I saw a lot of diffrent versions already, all unique in their one way, but this one is one of my favourites. I simply love all the details and will definetly buy this book for my shelfs.

Vibrant, colourful and beautiful illustrations! I liked how a theme was being followed. The overall effect is very pleasing to the eyes; however, like I mentioned in my review for the Pride and Prejudice and Emma 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 requested this book, but was unable to download it prior to the archive date and therefore cannot leave my own review. However, from all the reviews I have read, it looks like a great book I would recommend to others and will be buying a copy for myself.

This book gets better every time i read it. Jane Eyre will always be a favourite classic. And even though i dont think Rochester is a good match for Jane he is a highly entertaining character

There is a reason why this book is a classic. It is beautifully written and captures a special place in your heart.

I was granted complimentary access to this illustrated edition of Jane Eyre via NetGalley. Thank you to all involved! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.

This is Charlotte Bronté's classic Jane Eyre, but with beautiful illustrations throughout. Normally I really don't mind what format my books are in and I'm totally content to own and read in digital form, but this book begs to be held and admired in physical form. If you're a fan of Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronté, or the classics in general and you collect interesting and unique editions, this is definitely one to add to your collection. If you've never experienced the classics before and you're looking for a place to start, this edition may feel more inviting than traditionally non-illustrated novels and help bring the older-feeling words to life a little easier.

Jane Eyre is a classic! Mr. Rochester and Jane's romance is one for the history books, and the addition of the artwork an added elegance to the work.

Here, I am reviewing a particular edition of this book, the Andrews McMeel's edition from the Marjolein Bastin Classics Series, rather than the book itself, so if you're seeing this review on any other edition, pass on by. I should note that I'm reviewing a digital advance copy that doesn't include the ephemera mentioned in the publisher's description, so I can't say what that is like. This would definitely be a wonderful edition to have if you're a fan of the book, as the illustrations are lovely, and add a nice touch to the text. It would be a lovely gift edition as well, but it does lack a foreword and notes, so it might not suit a new-to-the-story reader quite as well (I took a star off for this omission).

Beautiful edition of Jane Eyre illustrated by Marjolein Bastin. This much-loved classic would an excellent gift or addition to a library for Bronte lovers. #JaneEyre #NetGalley

This edition is gorgeous, sumptuous, and exactly as evocative as it need s to be to marry with Bronte's writing. I love all the rich visual details in this edition and can't wait to purchase this in a hardcopy, along with the other classics included in this series. This is wonderful and lovely - thank you very much to the publisher and to Marjolein Bastin for creating this newly updated rendition of a beloved classic. What a visual feast. Many thanks to Bastin and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the digital ARC.

5 Stars for Jane Eyre, obviously. As for the illustrated edition, I am not so sure. I have been a lifelong fan of Marjolein Bastien and know how much art she has produced over the years. That is why I was surprised to see so little in the book - a bird here, a flower there, at the beginning or end of a chapter. I think they could have added a lot more beautiful illustrations to really differentiate this book from a standard edition.

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.

this version is so pretty! i can't get enough of it! i highly recommend this along with the original version because classics are just so good!

was able to read this book thanks to NetGalley. It was so amazing, and I loved it! I was very invested in the characters and their stories. It was so amazing to revisit a beloved classic. Thanks again to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I love Jane Eyre, and I love Marjolein Bastin's artwork. When I had the opportunity to review an ARC that combines both, I couldn't very well resist. And oh, what a lovely edition this is! The story - well it's a classic for a reason. Not for everyone's taste, but I love it - especially listening to Thandie Newton's audiobook narration. But this print version - with Bastin's sweet drawings of flowers, birds, butterflies, etc are just lovely in the margins of the pages, along with the full page artwork in places. My only regret is that the digital ARC doesn't include the ephemera that the print version has - maps, letters, family trees, sheet music, etc. I might have to treat myself to the hardcover version. I'd highly recommend for anyone who wants a keepsake version of Jane Eyre.

Jane Eyre is probably my favourite book of all times and I reread it every year. It was a joy to read this edition of it this year because the illustrations are absolutely stunning and gorgeous. The symbolism fits with the chapters as well.
