Reader's note A well-loved vintage edition of Jane Austen's classic novel Emma. This tells the story of a fictional country village of Highbury and the surrounding estates of Hartfield, Randalls and Donwell Abbey. It follows the youthful hubris and romantic misunderstandings of a group of families and the matchmaking of the protagonist Emma Woodhouse, a beautiful, spoilt and witty young lady. “Were I to fall in love, indeed, it would be a different thing; but I have never been in love ; it is not my way, or my nature; and I do not think I ever shall.” Love her or hate her, Emma Wodehouse is not a heroine to be forgotten in a hurry!
