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. Oft-copied but never
bettered, Jane Austen's Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners.
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 isn't the
lives of others she must try to transform. With original
illustrations by the celebrated Hugh Thomson, this Macmillan
Collector's Library edition also features bonus material by Jane
Austen expert Sophie Reynolds.

The Concubine, Elechi Amadi's most celebrated work of fiction, paints a
picture of pre-colonial life in rural Eastern Nigeria and explores the
boundary between myth and reality.
Ihuoma is a woman of great beauty and dignity, beloved in a village
that remains untouched by colonialism. By all accounts, she should be
happy and in love. Yet she faces misfortune after misfortune when a
mysterious force makes any suitor that she falls in love with meet an
inexplicable - and unpleasant - end...
Brimming with lyrical prose, jealous gods, and masterful suspense, The
Concubine is a tale about Igbo culture and beliefs. An unforgettable
story full of beauty and tragedy.
