Oft-copied but never bettered Jane Austen's Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners. Part of
the Macmillan Collector's Library a series of stunning clothbound pocket sized classics with
gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for
any book lover. This edition is illustrated by the celebrated Hugh Thomson and includes an
afterword by David Pinching. Austen follows the charming but insensitive Emma Woodhouse as she
sets out on an ill-fated career of match-making in the little town of Highbury. Taking the
pretty but dreary Harriet Smith as her subject Emma creates misunderstandings and chaos as she
tries to find Harriet a suitor until she begins to realize it isn't the lives of others she
must try to transform.
