My copy of "Cassandra and Jane" (review and cover pic <a href="http://www.devourerofbooks.com/2008/11/cassandra-and-jane-book-review/" rel="nofollow">here</a>) had a different angle of the same picture.

It's interesting that it's your favorite Austen novel, Jennifer. This type of book seems to be a strong trend right now. Like Serena, I’ve never read Mansfield Park.
