Jane Eyre
Author(s): Charlotte Brontë
When "Jane Eyre" was first published in 1847, it became an instant bestseller, so popular that the publisher commissioned a second printing in just three months. The story of a young girl--plain, poor, and alone--who endures abuse, abandonment, and ridicule only to become a loving, compassionate young woman of great moral character remains Charlotte Bronte's greatest achievement. Now available as part of the Canterbury Classics singles series, "Jane Eyre" is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers.
