    How wonderful to see these editions. I am new to reading classics (not proud to say at 60) so I am so happy to see the different copies to collect. Bath is beautiful I visited with my daughter as she lives a train ride away. Thank you dear Heather 📖🙏🏻🤗

    What a delight! I love your collection and the stories behind them. Also, I think that Captain Wentworth's letter is perfection itself!

    I love that you have so many copies of Persuasion. I can tell how much you love it. I'm the same way with Pride and Prejudice. Of course all of Jane's works are amazing and Persuasion is a really beautiful story. As far as a version of Mansfield Park goes, I would recommend the Chiltern edition. It's not illustrated but the cover is so beautiful and the it's a really good edition to read from.

    • @WaterBearReads

      oooh I looked that one up and it is gorgeous! I do love Chiltern Classics, and have been known to buy an unillustrated edition from time to time.... 🥰

      Hi! Congratulations on your new P&P! I have been wondering if I should get that one. I have kind of been waiting to see if they do any more of them. I think now I might get it - I just needed to hear from someone if they like it - so thank you! Happily I have a birthday coming !!! 🥰

      @@WaterBearReads Good Morning! thanks for the reply... I'd have to say Pride and Prejudice is my favorite with Emma being a close 2nd. I need to re-read them all. I have never read Sanditon, have you? Do you have a favorite? Do you have any other favorite classics? hope you are enjoying some refreshing air where you are - it has not been the best summer here in the Portland area, but yesterday was beautiful!
