A brilliant, pocket-sized, special anniversary edition bound in authentic fabric with gold lettering, finished edges, and a ribbon bookmark, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth. Part of a collectible series inspired by the life and work of Jane Austen.

Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners, often imitated but never surpassed. Austen follows the charming but insensitive Emma Woodhouse as she attempts to engineer romantic success in the small town of Highbury. Choosing the lovely but unremarkable Harriet Smith as her subject, Emma creates misunderstandings and chaos in her endeavor to find a match for Harriet, until she begins to realize that it is not the lives of others she should seek to transform.

Includes original illustrations by the distinguished Hugh Thomson and additional material on the design process.
