Wordsworth is a good choice for these authors
Im not reviewing the novels themselves (which so far I have deeply enjoyed) but Wordsworth publishing. These books are an incredible value for the price. Some will undoubtedly find the text too small, but it means they can make the books small and easier to hold. They have an elegant design, they are well bound, and crucially they have explanatory notes in the back of the books. Anne and Charlotte use a lot of French passages (especially Charlotte) and you will need the translations Wordsworth provides. They also define archaic words and customs, provide historical context, and occasionally explain how scenes may have been influenced by the authors real life experience. If you have a passion for classic literature and want to try reading the Brontë sisters, Wordsworth is the way to go, as long as you have young eyes that don’t mind small font.I will say that The Professor had a printing error that blurred the text on many pages, but this error is so slight that I can’t even make it apparent in pictures. None of the other books had this issue, nor have the dozen or two other Wordsworth books I’ve purchased.

This is a Bargain for Classics.
This is a classic collection of works that have withstood the test of time. The paperbacks have a nice aesthetic for your bookshelf and the content of the books is unparalleled. I mainly bought it to have a collection of all Charlotte Brontë’s works but was ecstatic to see I could purchase all of her sister’s works as well. As the premier literary family, all of there work is worth having on your shelves. So glad I could find this bargain!

Great value for money.
I can't believe we get all these novels for such a low price. Like Penguin books and Oxford World Classics, these books also come with an extensive commentary and endnotes. My only slight complaint is that the box if a very tight fit for these books. Once you get one book out, it will be quite difficult to put it back in. Also, on my copy of 'The Professor' the print was smeared on every left hand page.

Beautiful Book Collection
I bought these because I wanted them on my shelf for my teens to read. They are a beautiful boxed set. One day, when I'm done raising kids, I hope to read them too!
