Captain Wentworth's letter to Anne Elliot remains one of the most memorable confessions in literature. It is the precious jewel at the heart of PERSUASION, Jane Austen's enchanting story of second chances and enduring love. Throughout the story, letters, newspapers, maps, and other documents reveal the deeper motivations of the characters and shape their destinies. Anne's father, who is insufferable and obsessed with the history of their noble family, and a page from the Bath Chronicle reveal the complex social scene of the town, where lovers are eventually reunited.

This deluxe edition brings all this and more to life. As you read the novel, you will find pockets containing facsimiles of thirteen items from the story, recreated with exquisite calligraphy and careful attention to detail. For anyone who loves Jane Austen or still appreciates the joy of correspondence, this book enhances the experience of a beloved story in an entirely new way.
