I love Jane Austen and having her works all together in a single collection is a great idea. The problem with this set is that the books are abridged. It's a little hard to notice at first, but it is a problem for me. I wish that the publisher of this collection had put this information in larger print so that I would have known before I purchased. I am glad the price was not too high. Better luck next time. The idea is great, but the execution is not the best. The idea gets five stars, but the abridged versions bring it back to two.
I have listened to Jane Austen biography and Northanger Abbey.While I was listening I realized that the books had been abridged. I could not find that on the listing for the item on . It is written on very fine print on side of large box that contains all the discs. I was very disappointed.I only give this 2 stars because they have married music with the text in a very unique way.
I liked this collection of Jane Austen's works only they were abridged which I didn't really care for. Austen's works are timeless and abridging them seems a terrible waste. Also, I didn't care for the music that was added. Overall the collection was okay though.
This is a beautiful set. The title is a little misleading, in that it is not the entire works of Jane Austen, but just her novels. It includes Pride and Prejudice Vo. I-II, Sense and Sensibility Vo. I-II, Mansfield Park Vo. I-II, Emma Vo. I-II, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey. Each book is a slightly-marbled green hardcover, small enough to fit in my hand, about 5" x 4". The print does not seem tiny, however. I don't know if they are abridged or not, as they just arrived yesterday. The page edges are gilt, and each book has a green ribbon book marker. The box they come in is actually a box. It seems very durable, unlike the paper 'boxes' sets usually come in. The lid is hinged on top, and when you lift it, the front part unfolds as well. A very nice way to display your set. I'm really happy with this set, as I was really only after the novels and this was an inexpensive option. It's definitely a collector's item. This set compares to the Austen Boxed Set (Collector's Library) also on . The only difference seems to be the illustrations and slip-covers. This set is definitely the better value. Highly recommended.Soli Deo Gloria.
