Just launched: an accessible new way to read a classic novel.

TLDR – Too Long; Didn’t Read. It’s common to see that on social media posts, but have you sometimes quietly thought it about classic literature?

Jane Eyre is ‘a masterwork of great genius’, but it is also an extremely long book.

However, this new edition of Charlotte Brontë’s enduring classic makes this much-loved novel accessible to everyone.

If you want to read Jane Eyre, this is the copy to buy, whoever you are. This gorgeous, collectable volume includes the full text, in its unabridged form. But what you’ll also get is a straightforward summary following each full chapter which makes this story accessible and enjoyable even if you don’t read the whole book.

Whether you are buying this for yourself or as a gift, it is ideal for:

◆ Anyone wanting an easier read of a hefty novel

◆ those with any kind of reading difficulty or who find it hard to make sense of the antiquated language

◆ people who simply don’t enjoy longer descriptive passages

◆ booklovers who are not fluent in English

◆ students looking to expand their experience of the classics, but with limited time to do so

You can dip into as much of the original text of Jane Eyre as you wish, whilst knowing that if you choose to skip a chapter, you will miss nothing essential to the plot or character development. Key chapters that are the most rewarding to read in full are flagged up for you. In the Kindle version, you can skip from one summary to the next, or read the full chapter in between. It’s up to you.

Jane Eyre was a woman on a mission to discover freedom on her own terms. With independence of spirit, resourcefulness, and integrity, she carved out a path for herself in a challenging world. It is no surprise that this story has endured in popularity for so long. This edition will bring it to a whole new audience.

This is the first in the series TLDR Classics. Look out for more titles coming soon.
