Emma by Annette Barnes (Retold by); Jane AustenCall Number: Basic Skills -- Reading -- Level 4 -- 823.7 A933et abridged
ISBN: 0582417945
Book with sound recording. "Emma Woodhouse is beautiful, clever and rich," says Jane Austen. But Emma Woodhouse is also bored. In England in the late 1700s and early 1800s, women of Emma's class were not expected to work. Instead, they played the piano, took walks in the park, visited one another and thought a great deal about whom they might marry someday. At 21, Emma believes she is not yet ready to get married, so she spends her time setting up romances between the men and women in her life. She's not very good at it, and indeed Emma causes more broken hearts than happy ones.
