Description

Let yourself be swept off your feet! A perfectly curated gift for your literary valentine, this elegant boxed set houses three compelling classics in artful new editions.

Stories for Romantics brings together three timeless works in one beautiful collection:

Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South is both a sweeping love story and a vivid portrait of Britain in the midst of the Industrial Revolution.
Open Me Carefully: Emily Dickinson’s Intimate Letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson chronicles a real-life love story through letters and verse and sheds new light on the work of one of the world’s greatest poets.
Elizabeth von Arnim’s The Enchanted April follows four women as they decamp from rainy England to a sunny Italian castle to heal their hearts and rekindle love in all its forms.

In irresistible editions designed for a luxurious reading experience, with creamy paper and rounded spines, these stories will appeal to anyone who appreciates a swoon-worthy romance. Stunning wraparound cover illustrations by artist Kate Forrester make this classic book set a distinctive gift and an ideal display piece for any bookshelf.

CLASSIC LITERATURE COLLECTIBLE: With this deluxe boxed set, you can enjoy some of the most compelling love stories, poems, and letters ever written—whether revisiting old favourites or exploring these two classic novels and one intimate correspondence collection for the first time.

GORGEOUS BOXED SET: Each of the three volumes and the slipcase features the colourful artwork of contemporary artist Kate Forrester, which brings the characters to life and makes this set great for reading and displaying as an artistic object in your home.

ROMANTIC GIFT: Stories for Romantics offers a thoughtfully curated gift for any special occasion. Elegantly designed and crafted with top-quality materials, this sophisticated three-book set will delight the love of your life on a birthday, anniversary, or Valentine's Day. It also makes a great Galentine's gift for book club buddies or passionate romance reader friends!

Perfect for:

Classic literature fans
Bibliophiles and collectors of special editions
Readers of love stories, romance, and romantasy
Fans of historical fiction
Fans of the film The Enchanted April, the miniseries North and South, or the television show Dickinson
Anyone looking for the perfect Valentine's Day gift
Fans of artist Kate Forrester
