Oft-copied but never bettered, Jane Austens Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners. Now a major motion picture starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Miranda Hart and Bill Nighy.

Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful hardbacks make perfect gifts for book lovers, or wonderful additions to your own collection. Gorgeously illustrated by the celebrated Hugh Thomson, this Macmillan Collectors Library edition also includes an afterword by David Pinching.

Set in the fictional village of Highbury, Austen follows the charming but insensitive Emma Woodhouse as she sets out on an ill-fated career in match-making. Adopting the pretty but dreary Harriet Smith as her subject, Emma creates misunderstandings and chaos as she attempts to find Harriet a suitor – until she begins to realize it isnt the lives of others she must try to transform, but her own.
