One of several Jane Austen books that have been given a makeover for a young audience, using various authors (Narinder Dhami in this instance) and a single illustrator to provide a uniform look. I really like the way Ceulemans has provided character illustrations at the start of the novel and occasional scene illustrations that have an authentic period feel whilst at the same time possessing a contemporary cartoon humour.
Illustrated and retold editions are also available for: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park and Emma.
