PERSUASION (HANDWRITTEN CLASSICS) (HB)

For anyone who loves Austen, and for anyone who still cherishes the joy of letter writing, this book illuminates a favourite story in a whole new way with nineteen replica handwritten letters placed in glassine pockets throughout the book. Anne’s snobbish father obsesses over a written history of their noble family, and a page from the Bath Chronicle reveals the elaborate social scene of the town where the lovers are finally reunited. Each piece of paper ephemera is re-created and hand-folded with painstaking attention to historical detail.
