Persuasion: Celebrating 250 Years of Jane Austen

A gorgeous, pocket-sized special edition of Jane Austen's sophisticated and wickedly satirical final novel to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of her birth.

Persuasion follows the story of Anne Elliott, who as a teenager was engaged to a seemingly ideal man, Frederick Wentworth. But after being persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that he is too poor to be a suitable match, Anne ends their engagement. When they are re-acquainted eight years later, their circumstances are transformed: Frederick is returning triumphantly from the Napoleonic War, while Anne's fortunes are floundering. Will their past regrets prevent them from finding future happiness?

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