Can you get a cheaper copy of this story? Of course you can. It's in the public domain.

But if you are an Bronte lover cultivating a home library, then this is a perfect addition. I've long been a fan of Bastin's beautiful illustrations, and they are sprinkled throughout this lovely book. I wish this were a physical copy of the ARC so I could fondle the paper and appreciate the binding.

This review is about this particular edition--the story itself has been reviewed for decades. I liked the story a lot better when I read it in my 40s than when I had to read it in high school. It's not for everyone., and mostly, the characters make me mad.
