WIN a DVD set of three different versions of Sense and Sensibility from JaneAusten.nl. Through November 2, 2011. Not associated with Random Magic Tour but included as a related celebration, because the more the merrier. Please note that they are site based in the Netherlands, and so the DVD set will most likely be PAL (region 2) format, not NTSC (region 1).

Their offer: 200 years after the release of Sense and Sensibility, it's time to once and for all - or at least until a new film is made - determine the best film adaptation of the Jane Austen classic. Share your opinion in the comments and you can win a prize package of three DVDs of the most recent film versions, from 1981, 1995 and 2008. (View details)
