I really do not like Jane Austen's writing but these are so adorable! Way more fun than the originals.

Super divertido, amé las ilustraciones. Sin duda es una de las mejores obras de Jane Austen. Amé al señor Knightley.

Another fantastic retelling from this series, you could clearly tell that Katy loves the source material because she's adapted it so lovingly. Emma is a novel that has grown on me over time, the 2020 adaptation adding to my love of it, and this book did an excellent job of adapting it for younger audiences. The length of the novel means Emma's redemption is rapid but I feel this doesn't detract from its success.
