Product details
‘I am going to take a heroine whom nobody but myself will much like,’ wrote Jane Austen when beginning Emma in January 1814. In this she was proved wrong. Pride and Prejudice may be her most famous novel, Persuasion her most deeply affecting, but for many, Emma is Austen’s best novel; the most perfectly balanced between comedy and insight, sparkle and depth. Witty, headstrong Emma Woodhouse, more interested in making matches for others than falling in love herself, is a wholly delightful heroine. The secondary characters – the impressionable Harriet, egotistical Mr Elton and Emma’s gentle, hypochondriac father – are just as unforgettable.
‘A mature and brilliant comedy of manners’- Robert McCrum, Observer

I am a huge fan of Jane Austen’s novels, and was incredibly pleased to see Folio Society present them so beautifully, with the respect and attention to detail that they deserve. These timeless editions match the timeless works of Miss Austen and are a stunning edition to a book collection.
Gorgeous book, to be read several times over the next few years. Great to have a real book in my hands. It feels special, and the illustrations are really beautiful. Many thanks!
I have been looking for 20 years for a Jane Austen Box set of this quality! The books are beautifully made, stylish, sophisticated and elegant. They look gorgeous on my bookshelf and are a "must have" for any fan of Jane Austen! They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for and for me they're worth it! My only very small niggle would be that a ribbon book mark would have been useful, but I can easily forgive that in light of how thrilled I am to have finally found a Jane Austen set worth having!!
