Celebrate an exciting novel with this special edition featuring the original cover created by Virginia Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell, and the original text published by Hogarth Press. There were small daily miracles, illuminations, sparks that lit up unexpectedly in the dark. The Ramsays always spent their holidays at their summer house on Skye – holidays filled with noise, joy, and moments of family life that could last forever. But as time passes, bringing with it war and death, the summer house remains empty until one day the family returns to make the long-overdue visit to the lighthouse. 'To the Lighthouse' was published in 1927 and achieved greater commercial success than any of Woolf's previous novels. Woolf herself believed it was 'the best of my books.' The book was printed three times in its first year and became one of Woolf's most beloved works. The text of this edition of 'To the Lighthouse' is based on the original Hogarth Press edition, published by Virginia and Leonard Woolf on May 5, 1927. The treasure includes the original cover created by Virginia Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell, for Hogarth Press. Beneath the cover, the 'vivid blue' spines printed in gold draw inspiration from the appearance of the first commercial edition.

“My mind took a new shape from her prose and will never be the same again” – Greta Gerwig

“Woolf's innovative novel remains one of the best available narratives of the self-mythologizing life of the middle class” – Russell Cusk

“I read this book from time to time, and each time I do, I find it more refined and impressive. It is so revolutionary and so wonderfully written that it constantly evolves on its own, as if it is alive” – Alison Bechdel
