FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD (CLOTHBOUND CLASSICS) (HB)

Part of Penguin's handsome hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these collectible copies are bound in high-quality cloth with foil stamping. The independent Bathsheba Everdene boldly arrives to take up a farm in Weatherbury, where she draws the attention of three very different men. There is Boldwood, the gentleman-farmer, Sergeant Troy the attractive military man, and the master shepherd Gabriel Oak. This is Thomas Hardy’s brilliant tale of slow courtship in the hearty beauty of rural England.
