They’ll go back in time and be able to envisage the picturesque British countryside as well as what it was like to live in the early 19th throughout the Georgian era of society. Subtly different in tone, they range from the Gothic satire of Northanger Abbey, the drama of Pride and Prejudice and the razor-sharp observation of Emma to the poignancy and tenderness of Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park and Persuasion.

Set in a seaside town, it is an amusing tale of hypochondriacs, mixed in with family drama and a whiff of romance. Inspired by the intricate leather bindings of the 19th century, these dust jackets are a stunning addition to any bookshelf. The novel was a huge commercial success (although not for Jane herself, the novels being published anonymously) with the first edition selling out completely by 1813. The story of a young woman trying to find her place in society, this classic coming of age story was revolutionary for its time.

Another great set is the Charles Dickens Easy Classics 10 Books Collection which features Dicken’s best-loved stories still in the easy-to-read accessible format.

She was “Over the moon” with the set, and everyone else was SO impressed with them and their quality as well!

Readers will be enchanted by these stories and by the decorative books in this set, which include specially designed spines and custom endpapers. Romantic, witty, acerbic and endlessly popular, Jane Austen’s novels are amongst the most revered, relevant and consistently readable novels in English Literature. Part of a special set of 10 hardcover classics, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, that innovatively use foil and a special new binding material to create a highly collectable set.
