A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre has dazzled generations of readers with its depiction of a woman's quest for freedom. Having grown up an orphan in the home of her cruel aunt and at a harsh charity school, Jane Eyre becomes an independent and spirited survivor-qualities that serve her well as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a choice. Should she stay with him whatever the consequences or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving her beloved?

FROM SARAH:

THIS is the one I recommend most often, especially for a wide age range of kids, and is always what I start with to introduce a play to my kids. Highly recommended for your permanent collection. You can keep track of who's who with the helpful illustrations and character charts. Strong read-aloud language paired with plenty of Shakespeare’s original language in a narrative that’s simple to follow and enjoyable to read aloud-- it’s just about perfect.

If you have a wide range of ages (ages 6+ is a good starting point), choose this one!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

This collection of stories from Shakespeare's plays, with beautiful illustrations and quotations, is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare. Each story includes short details about the main characters, and famous and memorable quotations from the play.

I took Treasure Island to church with me as a talisman.
“What a lovely bible,” Mrs. Tribly said.
“Isn’t it just?” I replied, hoping she would not ask me to read a favorite verse aloud.
I do not believe the psalmist wrote,
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest,
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.
