Emma

A special edition featuring beautiful heritage wallpaper patterns from her own home in Hampshire, these collectable paperbacks are a must for all Jane Austen fans. From Macmillan Collectors Library; a series of stunning classics that make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

Oft-copied but never bettered, Jane Austens 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 isnt the lives of others she must try to transform.

With original illustrations by the celebrated Hugh Thomson, this Macmillan Collectors Library edition also features bonus material by Jane Austen expert and curator of Jane Austen's House Sophie Reynolds.
