EMMA

Austen’s feistiest heroine in a gorgeous gift edition, illustrated by Hugh Thomson and featuring bonus material by Jane Austen expert Sophie Reynolds.

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 matchmaking 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.

The special Macmillan Collector’s Library editions of Emma, Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility feature beautiful heritage wallpaper patterns from Jane Austen’s heritage home in Hampshire, where the author spent the last eight years of her life. These collectable paperback editions are a must for all Jane Austen fans.
