Emma: Jane Austen

Part of `Penguin's` beautiful hardback `Clothbound Classics` series, designed by the awardwinning Coralie BickfordSmith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in highquality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Beautiful, clever, rich and single Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.
