by Jane Austen

As a child, Fanny Price is sent to live with her rich relatives at Mansfield Park.
by Jane Austen
Adapted by Clara Glynn
A new version of Austen’s most overlooked novel.
This is the only Austen book that tells the story of its protagonist from childhood. We first meet Fanny Price when she is nine years old and we witness how she’s shaped by family and adversity. At the centre of the book is a displaced child with an unshakeable conscience. A true heroine.
MANSFIELD PARK, where goodness is valued over glamour, feels like the Jane Austen for our times.
