Step into the refined world of Regency England with Jane Austen's timeless classic, "Emma." In this sparkling comedy of manners, Austen introduces readers to the charming and headstrong Emma Woodhouse, a young woman determined to play matchmaker in her sleepy village of Highbury. At its heart, "Emma" is a story of love, friendship, and self-discovery. As Emma sets out to find suitable matches for her friends and acquaintances, she soon finds herself entangled in a web of romantic misunderstandings, social rivalries, and personal misjudgments. Through a series of witty dialogues, humorous mishaps, and poignant revelations, Emma learns valuable lessons about the complexities of the human heart and the importance of humility, empathy, and self-awareness. With its richly drawn characters, clever plotting, and incisive social commentary, "Emma" remains one of Austen's most beloved and enduring works. Through Emma's journey of self-discovery, readers are transported to a world of elegant balls, country picnics, and genteel society, where the pursuit of love and happiness is both a source of delight and a cause of consternation. More than just a romance, "Emma" is a celebration of the human spirit and the power of love to transform lives and transcend social barriers. With its timeless themes of friendship, forgiveness, and the pursuit of true happiness, Austen's masterful novel continues to captivate readers of all ages and backgrounds, reminding us of the enduring appeal of love, laughter, and the human heart.

Seller's Description:
C E Brock. Fair. No Jacket. 12mo-over 6¾-7¾" tall A fair to good copy, complete in 2 volumes, edited by R Brimley Johnson, and with 12 colour plates by C E Brock. 4th edition thus, published in February 1903. In original decorative cloth bindings with gilt titles to spine and front board. Top page edges gilt, other edges uncut. With half titles, showing that they were volumes VII and VIII of Brimley Johnson's series of Austen's works; colour frontispieces; decorative title pages; preface (volume 1); listing of illustrations; and text with head and tailpieces. All the plates are present as called for. Vol I has 245 pp and Vol II has 258 pp. The volumes have been rebacked, relaying the original spines, so they are sound and tight. They have bright gilt titles, but the blue decoration to the spine and boards has some fading, particularly on Vol I, affecting the front board at the spine edge and the lower half. The spines are browned. Both have a little marking on the back boards and fading to the central decoration. Corners on both are lightly turned-Vol I has a small bump to the bottom corner of the back board. Internally, the endpapers have some light toning and professional repair at the joints. Contents are clean and all the plates have new tissue guards. There is some spotting affecting text pages-this is more prevalent in the text around the plate pages. The plates themselves tend to have some very light spotting in the margins which does not affect the images. There is light toning towards page edges. Vol I has professional paper repair at the bottom edge of p 58.

Hugh Thomson. Good. A good copy in the original decorative cloth binding with 24 coloured illustrations (including frontispiece and title page) by C E Brock.

It is very slightly cocked to the front. There is some light marking on the back board and a small scuff at the top of the front board. Top page edges gilt; remaining edges are untrimmed. Internally the decorative endpapers have professional repair at the joints and are toned as usual. The contents are in very good clean condition with bright plates.
