Emma

A gorgeous new pocket-sized special edition bound in real cloth with sprayed edges and a ribbon marker to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen''s birth in 2025. The designs are inspired by Jane Austen''s life and work. Oft-copied but never bettered, Jane Austen''s Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners. Austen follows the charming but insensitive Emma Woodhouse as she sets out on an ill-fated career of match-making in the little town of Highbury. Taking the pretty but dreary Harriet Smith as her subject, Emma creates misunderstandings and chaos as she tries to find Harriet a suitor, until she begins to realize it isn''t the lives of others she must try to transform. With original illustrations by the celebrated Hugh Thomson and bonus material about the design.
