Oft-copied but never bettered, Jane Austen's Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners.

Austen follows the charming but insensitive Emma Woodhouse as she sets out on an ill-fated career of match-making in the little town of Highbury. Taking the pretty but dreary Harriet Smith as her subject, Emma creates misunderstandings and chaos as she tries to find Harriet a suitor, until she begins to realize it isn't the lives of others she must try to transform.

This edition is illustrated by the celebrated Hugh Thomson and includes an afterword by David Pinching.

Emma seems to know more about our hearts that we ever do, no matter how old or experienced we may think we are.
