Catch a sneak peak into the world of Austen and hear from the actors and adapter!

Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Emma, and now Sense and Sensibility. Book-It’s fourth Jane Austen adaptation brings audiences back to the sweeping work that began her career.

In Austen’s first published novel (1811), the Dashwood sisters find that love is an unpredictable struggle against the most important social values: family, honor, and wealth.  As teens, Elinor and Marianne's family fortunes take a turn when they lose their father, and their welcome in his home, now owned by their half-brother and his overbearing wife. With a move and a few chance meetings, Elinor falls for the intelligent and reserved Edward Ferrars, while Marianne dotes upon the handsome John Willoughby. Through Elinor’s sense and Marianne’s sensibility, this sprightly tale wends along the twisting path of love among the English gentry.

And we're not alone in our Austen admiration! Read the recent Seattle Times' review of "A Jane Austen Education" and "Why Jane Austen?" two books which dissect the Jane Austen phenomenon and explore the remarkable timelessness of her novels. Lessons for the ages, courtesy of 'Pride and Prejudice author' by Melinda Bargreen.
