That's a shame. What a lost opportunity to introduce young readers to Austen. I loved the Classics Illustrated comics when I was a kid.

Do you like any of the other illustrated editions? I found another one for kids by Usborne and one from the Folio Society when I was looking for your illustration. You took the cover, cropped it, and added the text? It turned out very well.

There are a lot of P&P illustrators at Deviantart, too. Who knew?

I love the style and quote you used for North and South.
