Product Information

Why not delve between the covers of one of The Austen Project's contemporary reworkings of her novels or lose yourself in Austen's world with our favourite audiobook adaptations. Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. Set in the fictitious village of Highbury, Jane Austen's Emma is the story of a clever, albeit spoilt, woman — Emma Woodhouse, who lives with her father.

Many of the titles may be familiar to parents and these could be a starting point when choosing the first book to read from an impressive 8 in the series. When the Crawford siblings enter their lives, Fanny seems to be the only one unaffected by their charms.These include Eleanor and Marianne (an early version of Sense and Sensibility) and First Impressions, the novel that was to become Pride and Prejudice, as well as a third novel which would become the Gothic satire Northanger Abbey. Beautifully packaged in a ridged, matt-laminated slipcase with metallic detailing, complete with strikingly attractive, bespoke artwork. First expanded Winchester edition, the most attractive unillustrated edition of Austen's works produced around the turn of the century, here uniformly bound in contemporary morocco and scarce thus.

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. But when the sophisticated Crawfords move into the neighbourhood, even Edmund falls under their spell, and Fanny finds herself more alone than ever. The collection features illustrations in each book and a more simplified text without losing any of the important plot details. This stunning 8 book illustrated collection is a perfect gift and introduction to classical literature for children aged seven and up.

An attractive set published and bound by Riviere, with pleasing colour frontispieces by Charles Edmund Brock, who previously produced the first ever colour-illustrated edition of Austen in 1898 alongside Henry Matthews Brock.
