Publisher's Synopsis
A coloring book featuring the first line of each and every chapter of Jane Austen's classic 1818 novel, Persuasion.
From the very first line of Persuasion: "Sir Walter Elliot, of Kellynch Hall, in Somersetshire, was a man who, for his own amusement, never took up any book but the Baronetage; there he found occupation for an idle hour, and consolation in a distressed one; there his faculties were roused into admiration and respect, by contemplating the limited remnant of the earliest patents; there any unwelcome sensations, arising from domestic affairs changed naturally into pity and contempt as he turned over the almost endless creations of the last century; and there, if every other leaf were powerless, he could read his own history with an interest which never failed." to the first line of the final chapter (Chapter 24) of Persuasion: "Who can be in doubt of what followed? When any two young people take it into their heads to marry, they are pretty sure by perseverance to carry their point, be they ever so poor, or ever so imprudent, or ever so little likely to be necessary to each other's ultimate comfort." through all the twists and turns of this timeless story, there is so much to learn, enjoy, and inspire. We hope that you enjoy coloring it as much as we at First Lines Press enjoying creating it for you!
