The Dashwood sisters—practical Elinor and
impulsive Marianne—are of good social standing and
marriageable age. When Father dies and their half-
brother skimps on their inheritance, they are forced to
leave their grand estate for a tiny, cold cottage. Just as
life seems its bleakest, a handsome stranger arrives on
horseback and the sisters are convinced their futures
are secured. Follow Elinor and Marianne as they chase
their dreams from Devonshire to London and back in
this charming romantic classic.
Age 12 & up.
