About this deal

Jane Austen's final finished novel, Persuasion tells the story of two people - Anne Elliot and Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth – who were once betrothed and in love but parted ways under unfortunate circumstances. Each box set contains six books, together creating a comprehensive collection of Austen’s best and much-loved works. Set in the fictitious village of Highbury, Jane Austen's Emma is the story of a clever, albeit spoilt, woman Emma Woodhouse, who lives with her father.

Written with deft humour, Emma explores the hubris of class and youth, and the importance of maturity, discretion and growing up. After several failed attempts at getting her work published, Austen’s brother Henry approached a publisher Thomas Egerton who published Sense and Sensibility in 1811.What transpires when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen's last completed novel. Austen’s most famous novel, the delightfully witty courtship of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy is brimming with character, playfulness and irony. Sweet Cherry Publishing has released a series of classic novels that have been rewritten to make them easier to understand.

She finds him arrogant, conceited, and indifferent, disliking him even more when she discovers he has interfered in the relationship between his friend Bingley and Elizabeth's older sister Jane. Jane never married, her short friendship with a neighbour Tom Lefroy when she was twenty was cut short due to their mutual lack of money and although Jane later received an offer of marriage from family friend Harris Bigg-Wither which she initially accepted, she later withdrew her consent. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo.
