Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series designed by the award-winning
Coralie Bickford-Smith these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality
colourful tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Taken from the poverty of her
parents' home in Portsmouth Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park
acutely aware of her humble rank and with her cousin Edmund as her sole ally. During her
uncle's absence in Antigua the Crawford's arrive in the neighbourhood bringing with them the
glamour of London life and a reckless taste for flirtation. Mansfield Park is considered Jane
Austen's first mature work and with its quiet heroine and subtle examination of social
position and moral integrity one of her most profound.
