Books by Retold By Pauline Francis

When their rich stepfather dies, two women are left poor by the rules of inheritance. They have to move to a tiny cottage in Devonshire. There, the primary ambition is to find suitable husbands. Candidates include the dashing Willoughby, the vicar Ferrars, and the retired Colonel Brandon. Which sister is the sensible one, and which one is more sensible?Express Classics is a fast-moving and accessible series that offers a quick way into a range of classic novels. Each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the original book and loses none of the strength and flavour of the original.
