A full-color graphic novel adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, pairing the original novel text with vivid illustrations for classroom study and independent reading.
Jane Eyre is a plain, determined, and intelligent child. Orphaned and poor, she is adopted by her Aunt and Uncle Reed. The death of Uncle Reed allows her unpleasant aunt to send her away to a grim charity school, where she continues her harsh upbringing but receives the education that finally frees her.
Once old enough, Jane becomes a teacher and takes the role of governess in a large manor house, where she falls in love with her employer. But Rochester is hiding a secret that, when revealed, forces Jane to choose between following her head and her heart.
Both critically acclaimed and immensely popular, Jane Eyre deals with concepts of class discrimination, morality, equality for women, and freedom of choice.
