Charlotte Brontë's Classic Novel Jane Eyre Vintage Book Thames Publishing Co. London 1950's Hardback with Dust Jacket

A handsome vintage book version of this classic novel Jane Eyre by one of the greatest female writers of all time Charlotte Brontë.  This charming vintage book is in pleasing condition with the attractive nostalgic Dust Wrapper that adds to the experience of this classic gothic romance novel by Charlotte.

Through the skillful strokes of Charlotte Brontë's pen, you'll find yourself walking alongside Jane Eyre on her tumultuous yet transformative journey, experiencing her triumphs and tribulations as she falls deeply in love with the brooding Mr Rochester.

The plot unfolds as Jane navigates a challenging upbringing marked by mistreatment and solitude.  As an orphan, she faces a series of trials that shape her into a resilient and determined young woman.  Her path leads her to Thornfield Hall and the enigmatic Mr. Rochester.  The complex relationship that unravels tests the boundaries of love and societal expectations.  The novel beautifully captures Jane's inner struggles, her quest for identity, and her journey toward self-discovery.

The book is a First Edition Thus in this quaint 'Regent Classics' Edition that was published by Thames Publishing Co. London.  Part of a series that included more wonderful books such as Wuthering Heights, Little Women and Alice in Wonderland.

Back to this vintage Bronte Sister's book.  We need not say more about this historical milestone in literature, just open the first page of this charming old book from the 1950's and read:

"There was no possibility of taking a walk that day..."

Kittys Reader Notes & Book Excerpt

"Charlotte Bronte's best-known book tells the life story of Jane Eyre, who at the age of ten is sent to a bleak Yorkshire orphanage and later becomes governess to the ward of Mr. Rochester of Thornfield. Jane's meeting with Mr. Rochester begins a drama that meets a climax with her discovery of the secret he has guarded from her and the world.

Jane, plain and poor but of bright intelligence, is a heroine who will excite the sympathy and grip the interest of boys and girls as well as grown-ups, and her story is told with all the artistry, feeling and power that have placed Charlotte Brontë in the front rank of the great Victorian novelists."

No bookshelf of vintage classics should be without the wonderful novels by the Brontë Sisters that have stood the test of time and still enchant today.

VERY GOOD:

This is fresh from the attic in very good vintage condition .

The very attractive wrapper is bright and glossy, with just a few rubs and creases and nicks here and there.

Book is robust, bright and fresh pages bright and clean

No tanning to pages, just a tiny bit of foxing to the underside of the text block that doesn't penetrate the page text.

Small and neat previous owner's name written to top right of front endpaper and an equally neat gift inscription tucked away under the flap of the wrapper.

'To Barbara with love from Brenda' probably given as a Birthday or Christmas Gift between the sisters all part of the books charm.

Spine Intact and good with titles visible and minor wear.

Matt board Covers are firm and good with minimal scuffing and a few very minor dents.

Very good indeed for this genre of books that usually end up extremely well read and foxed.

Please remember this vintage book has been loved before and condition is graded taking this into consideration.
