A superb collection added to excellent preparation by Halcyon Classics make for a great buy!

This is an excelent English classic literature book. There are six novels in one book. It is thick with 1098 pages, but easy to manipulate. There dosen't seem to be any typos or mispelled words.I gave it five stars, but would have given it six if I could. It was published by Magpie Books, London.

The Jane Austen Collection: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion (Halcyon Classics)

Pride and Prejudice was the first school text book that I enjoyed reading. Over the past 40 years, I have re-read and enjoyed her works. I even find myself doing walking tours in places like Bath, in order to follow in the steps of her characters!

Timeless enjoyment with the Bennets, Lady Catherine, Darcy and Bingley

I received this book today very excited because I love Jane Austen and was very interested in reading her letters and unfinished works.

I am sad to say that this book does NOT contain the following:

Minor and unfinished works: Sanditon, The Watsons, and Lady Susan.

Juvenilia: Frederic & Elfrida, Love and Freindship, Lesley Castle, The History of England, A Collection of Letters, Scraps --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition. nfinished works. I have already read all but one of her completed works. I am sad to say it does not contain

It does state that the book contains this, in the description. Don't be fooled.

Hello Amazon, im sorry but your website presentation while shopping for books is useless. All I wanted was a paperback set of Jane Austen books. Seems simple enough. Apparently not, the first set brought up says paperback in the title but way later the actual description claims it is an audio book???

The customer reviews, supposedly for this book, were a mix of reviews from 6 different Jane Austen products. Hardback, paperback, video, etc.

The actual description of the title was so buried in screen after screen of add ons, reviews, additional suggestions, etc it took awhile to find and then it was not a review of the product but an overall review of Jane Austen books. Most of the Jane Austen sets and compilations did not even list what titles were included. Come on folks! You would think that would be common sense information.

Amazon Management - Please Read This. Thanks

It may just be me but I cannot get anything but Sense and Sensibility to come up on my kindle. There is no menu, no way to flip to the next book. And it seemed to me, though I could be wrong since S&S isn't my favorite book that it was abridged. I abhor abridged books. Better to just buy the books separately.

I fell in love with Jane austen in jr. high school and have enjoyed her witing over an over again as I have grown older. there are great movies that have captured her books spot on and I recommend them in addtion to her writing. The books are a must for every person who wants to call themselves educated.

I am delighted with my Kindle3, and have since ordered many ebooks through Amazon.com. The speed of downloading this book was exceedingly fast. This collection has several excellent books, and I was able to "purchase" it at no cost.

I have read the first two in this collection, Sense and sensibility, Pride and prejudice. I enjoyed them greatly. True romance is just not present in today's culture. Looking forward to reading the rest of these classics.

Jane Austen is such a great author. I am in love with all of her books! This is a great collection for a great price too! A wonderful read from a wonderful writer.
