Emma: Celebrating 250 Years of Jane Austen

Jane Austen's feistiest heroine in a gorgeous, pocket-sized special edition to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of her birth.

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.

Bound in real cloth with foiled edges and a ribbon marker, this spectacular gift edition of Emma includes the original illustrations by Hugh Thomson, as well as bonus material about the cover design—inspired by Austen's life and work.
