Unfortunately, I couldn't find the edition I have. Starting with the back of the book, in the after word, it mentioned that Sense and Sensibility was the first of Jane Austin's novels to be published, yet, it is the most under rated of all of Jane Austens works. Readers normally read Pride and Prejudice, or, Emma, first. In the biography, I was astonished to discover, that Jane Austen never married, yet, she had a good handle on people's relationships. Marianne seems to be the dreamer out of the two sisters. Elinor, to the point, practical and a very strong woman. Completely off topic I watched the movie and although Margaret wasn't a star in the book, I loved how the movie portrayed the feisty child. I loved her high almighty attitude. I loved how the book portrayed the two sisters, one opposite each other, yet, they seemed to work it out alright. This is a TRUE classic and most know about the story. So, I recommend Sense and Sensibility to anyone who has read other Jane Austen books, because, if you love her style, you will like this one too, to anyone who loves classic literature, who loves the older style of England, Ye old English, such as … 'twas, &t.c, civility, piano forte …and once you have read the book don't forget to watch the movie, … (Sense and Sensibility 1995 with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet.) … To get a double dose of english scenery, era, horse carriages, picnics, dances and the music.
