  This title puts a fresh design spin on a well loved novel, which remains the same as the Jane Eyre that has been cherished for centuries. It is suitable for children aged 12 years and up. The new Classic Lines series presents some of the most timeless literary stories in a fashion-forward, runway inspired package targeted to teens. Fiery love, shocking twists and tragic mysteries put a lonely governess in jeopardy in Jane Eyre. Orphaned as a child, Jane has felt an outcast her whole young life. She suffers much cruelty, first in her aunt's unwelcoming home and then at the cold school for orphans, Lowood. Still determined and compassionate, her courage is tested once again when she arrives at Thornfield Hall, where she has been hired by the brooding, proud Edward Rochester to be a governess for his ward, Adele. Jane slowly breaks down his reserved nature and finds herself drawn to his troubled yet kind spirit. She falls in love. But there is a terrifying secret awaiting discovery inside the gloomy, forbidding Thornfield Hall. What is Rochester hiding from Jane? Will their smoldering relationship be threatened? Will Jane be left heartbroken and exiled once again?

  Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Charlotte Bronte's first published novel, Jane Eyre was immediately recognised as a work of genius when it appeared in 1847. Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society.
