‘I am going to take a heroine whom nobody but myself will much like,’ wrote Jane Austen when beginning Emma in January 1814. In this she was proved wrong. Pride and Prejudice may be her most famous novel, Persuasion her most deeply affecting, but for many, Emma is Austen’s best novel; the most perfectly balanced between comedy and insight, sparkle and depth. Witty, headstrong Emma Woodhouse, more interested in making matches for others than falling in love herself, is a wholly delightful heroine. The secondary characters – the impressionable Harriet, egotistical Mr Elton and Emma’s gentle, hypochondriac father – are just as unforgettable.

‘A mature and brilliant comedy of manners’
  1. Robert McCrum, Observer

  • A must-have for Austen-Fans. The atmospheric illustrations in warm colours of Sam Wolfe Connelly take the reader lightly back to another time. I love this book about the fine art of communication, about respect for one another, when people didn't click or swipe around on displays, but could write letters and make conversations. They could tell each other about right and wrong in an emotinal way, without the mass-media hysteria which rules our world nowadays.

  • I have purchased several Jane Austen illustrated books from Folio Society. The books are beautifully bound and illustrated. I love that they come in a book sleeve to protect the book for generations. The gift of "Emma" was well received by the "Emma" fan who received it.
