Jane Austen's classic works of romantic fiction, "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion", with notable illustrations by Hugh Thomson. The illustrations in this edition have been photographed directly from the original antiquarian book, and digitally cleaned.
From the Author
THIS little work was finished in the year 1803, and intended for immediate publication. It was disposed of to a bookseller, it was even advertised, and why the business proceeded no farther, the author has never been able to learn. That any bookseller should think it worth-while to purchase what he did not think it worth-while to publish seems extraordinary. But with this, neither the author nor the public have any other concern than as some observation is necessary upon those parts of the work which thirteen years have made comparatively obsolete. The public are entreated to bear in mind that thirteen years have passed since it was finished, many more since it was begun, and that during that period, places, manners, books, and opinions have undergone considerable changes.

Elegant and excellent,

This review is from: Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Illustrated by Hugh Thomson. (Paperback)
This is an elegant tribute to two lesser known Jane Austen novels. The edition includes illustrations that are worth seeing to give the reader a taste of the time period. I found the dimensions of the book itself to be perfectly sized, with the abililty to stay open without having to hold back pages. The two novels of Persuasion and Northanger Abbey are two timeless Jane Austen works that portray two young ladies of independent and different personalities as heroines of their situations, falling in love despite the societal objections of the time period. A worthy and excellent read awaits you.

Small print in great book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Illustrated by Hugh Thomson. (Paperback)
While Northanger Abbey is a not-to-be-missed Austen book, you must have good eyesight for this volume; the print is quite small.
