Mansfield Park: With 14 Illustrations and a Free Audio Link.

Mansfield Park features Austen's frailest and perhaps most scrupulous heroine, Fannie Price. As the eldest daughter in a poor family from Portsmouth, at the age of ten, Fannie is sent to her wealthy uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, in the chilly grandeur of Mansfield Park when she's just old enough to fully appreciate the shame of her circumstances. Gradually she falls in love with her cousin Edmund. When the dazzling and sophisticated Henry and Mary Crawford arrive, Fanny watches as her cousins become embroiled in rivalry and sexual jealousy. As the company starts to rehearse a play by way of entertainment, Fanny struggles to retain her independence in the face of the Crawford's dangerous attractions; and when Henry turns his attentions to her, the drama really begins... Without pride or prejudice, Fanny sticks to principles in all matters. And matters certainly put her to the test.
