Jane Eyre - always a treat, no matter the year!

I love Jane Eyre - in all it's iterations and versions and editions!!


I confess to having a fondness for the 40's version with Orson Welles and Olivia deHaviland.

We saw this version a few years ago - and it was well-done.


I have read the novel several times - always enjoying it anew. On a trip once, Dad and I listened to it on tape - it was his first "reading" of the novel. It was gripping - the miles flew by unnoticed.


The newest version was beautifully filmed and well-done also. We saw it Thursday night.




I suspect it can't be ruined!

Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books. I don't re-read many, but it is one I've read over and over. It's wonderful everytime.
