Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series,
designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these
delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality
colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. At
twenty-seven, Anne Elliot is no longer young and has few romantic
prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her
friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick
Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank.
What happens when they encounter each other again is movingly told
in Jane Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable
societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire
of vanity and pretension, but, above all,it is a love story tinged
with the heartache of missed opportunities.

These editions are even better looking in person. Just remember to leave the barcode sticker in place and not to pack these books too tightly together when you shelve them - the beautiful designs on the cover are relatively fragile and will come off easier than you think. The font size is pretty good, but I've decided to keep these as decor rather than risk scuffing the cover from handling it while reading.
