From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique
hardcovers--featuring cover art by type superstar Jessica Hische It
all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a
new series of twenty-six collectible and gift-worthy hardcover
editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously
illustrated letter of the alphabet by superstar type designer
Jessica Hische, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany
& Co. to Wes Anderson's film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own
bestsellers Committed andRules of Civility. A collaboration between
Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series
design encompasses foil-stamped paper-over-board cases in a
rainbow-hued spectrum across all twenty-six book spines and a
decorative stain on all three paper edges. Penguin Drop Caps debuts
with an -A- for Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, a -B- for
Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, and a -C- for Willa Cather's My
Antonia, and continues with more classics from Penguin. A is for
Austen. Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent
spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen's beloved classic Pride and
Prejudice. Elizabeth's early determination to dislike Mr. Darcy is
a prejudice only matched by the folly of his arrogant pride. Their
first impressions give way to true feelings in a comedy profoundly
concerned with happiness and how it might be achieved.
