Emma, first published in 1815, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. As in her other novels, Austen explores concerns and difficulties of genteel English women; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters.

This volume, delightfully illustrated with Hugh Thompsons delicate drawings, contains three of Jane Austens classic novels: Sense and Sensibility, Emma and Northanger Abbey. Jane Austen is undoubtedly one of the finest English novelists: she paints on a small canvas, but with the most exquisitely detailed touch. Her novels sparkle with wit and humour; she lightly but tellingly satirizes the vanity, selfishness and pretension of mankind while creating a splendid gallery of living characters. Jane Austens novels are all set in the narrow world of eighteenth-century society, but her deep understanding of human nature and her penetrating observation of its follies and absurdities are timeless. Her work is as funny and fascinating as when it first appeared, and she is deservedly ranked among the classic authors.

Jane Austen is one of the most enduring and skilled English novelists. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austens most flawless work. Beautiful, clever, rich and single, Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. However, when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

Oft-copied but never bettered, Jane Austens Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners. Part of the Macmillan Collectors 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 isnt the lives of others she must try to transform.

Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austens most flawless work.

Beautiful, rich, self-assured and witty, Emma Woodhouse delights in match-making those around her, with no apparent care for her own romantic life. Taking young Harriet Smith under her wing, Emma sets her sights on finding a suitable match for her friend. Chided for her mistakes by old friend Mr Knightley, it is only when Harriet starts to pursue her own love interests that Emma realizes the true hidden depths of her own heart. Delightful, engaging and entertaining, Emma is arguably Austens most well-loved social comedy.

Emma Woodhouse was very pretty, very clever and very rich. She was charming too and she had many friends. Emma always thought she was right. Most of her friends agreed with her. Only Mr Knightley thought she was wrong. Emma is a matchmaker - she thinks she knows who should marry whom. But Emmas matchmaking causes mistakes and unhappiness. And Emma is so busy taking an interest in others lives that she does not notice her own, growing feelings for a man she believes is just a friend.

Jane Austen is without question, one of Englands most enduring and skilled novelists. With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literatures most charismatic and believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published. Whether it is her sharp, ironic gaze at the Gothic genre invoked by the adventures of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey; the diffident and much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to cope with her emotions in Mansfield Park: her delightfully paced comedy of manners and the machinations of the sisters Elinor and Marianne in Sense and Sensibility; the quiet strength of Anne Elliot in Persuasion succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; and Emma - a heroine whom no one but myself will like teased Austen - yet another irresistible character on fire with imagination and foresight. Indeed not unlike her renowned creator. Jane Austen is as sure-footed in her steps through societys whirlpools of convention and prosaic mores as she is in her sometimes restrained but ever precise and enduring prose.
