Part of the Chiltern Classics range.

Handsome, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse has many advantages— but Emma's supreme confidence in her own abilities is sometimes misplaced. When her scheme to find a suitable husband for young Harriet Smith goes badly awry, Emma learns the folly of her ways—and meets her own match in the process—but only after a series of painful misunderstandings.

Chiltern are publishers of exquisitely crafted editions of the world's finest classic literature. These beautiful books are a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques. With wonderful original, detailed and embossed covers, sparkling gilt edges, cream art paper, ribbon markers, and stitched binding, they are simply the most beautiful classics ever published.

This book has a matching lined journal (sold separately). They make a great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their own.
