Review Quotes

"This 30-page board book has enough room to explore the complexities of the saga, and Anabelle Tempest's whimsical illustrations add some enjoyment, but not too much, to this pleasing retelling. As in other adaptations, the illustrated characters are given Jane Austen's own words in quaint bubbles of speech. It is a worthy retelling, and one that I am sure will cause dozens of moppets to gather 'round your knee, eager to hear this, the finest story the English language has to offer."--Jesse Doogan "Book Riot" (11/17/2021 12:00:00 AM)
