A special edition from Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of
stunning classics that make perfect gifts or a treat for any book
lover. Featuring beautiful heritage wallpaper patterns from Jane
Austen's own home in Hampshire, these collectable paperback
editions are a must for all Jane Austen fans. Two sisters of
opposing temperament but who share the pangs of tragic love provide
the subjects for Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Elinor,
practical and conventional, the epitome of sense, desires a man who
is promised to another woman. Marianne, emotional and sentimental,
the epitome of sensibility, loses her heart to a scoundrel who
jilts her. A powerful drama of family life and growing up, Sense
and Sensibility is at once a subtle comedy of manners and a
striking critique of early nineteenth-century society. With
original illustrations by the celebrated Hugh Thomson, this
Macmillan Collector's Library edition also features bonus material
by Jane Austen expert Sophie Reynolds.
Polish off your magnifying glass and step into the shoes of your
favourite detectives as you unlock tantalising clues and solve
intricate puzzles. There are over 100 criminally teasing challenges
to be scrutinised, including word searches, anagrams, snapshot
covers, and crosswords - a favourite puzzle of crime fiction's
golden age. Suitable for all ages and levels, this is the ultimate
test for fans of the British Library Crime Classics series. For six
years, the British Library have brought neglected crime fiction
writers into the spotlight in a series of republished novels and
anthologies. There are now more than 50 British Library Crime
Classics titles to collect.
