Emma Woodhouse not yet twenty-one imagines a contented life as a spirited spinster and enthusiastic matchmaker but her charm and misjudgements nearly derail the hopes of her protegée Harriet Smith when she encourages an ill-suited match with a rector seeking wealth. Guided by the honest counsel of George Knightly and misdirected by the charismatic Frank Crawford she gradually discovers humility clarity and the true nature of affection. This elegant pocket-sized edition with its classic text and ornate details is an ideal gift for lovers of enduring literature.
