This special edition invites fans inside the world of Anne Elliot. It
includes the full text of Persuasion, plus gorgeous, removable
replicas of the characters' letters and other paper ephemera.
Captain Wentworth's letter to Anne Elliot remains one of the
literature's most unforgettable confessions. It is the jewel at the
heart of Persuasion, Jane Austen's captivating story of second chances
and enduring love. Throughout the story, letters, newspapers, maps, and
other paper ephemera reveal the characters' deepest motivations and
shape their destinies. 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.
This deluxe edition brings all of this and more to life. As you read the
novel, you will find pockets throughout containing replicas of thirteen
items from the story, re-created with exquisite calligraphy and
painstaking attention to historical detail. For anyone who loves Jane
Austen or still cherishes the joy of letter writing, this book deepens
the experience of a favorite story in an entirely new way.
