Jane Austen Collection

Product Information

Written as a series of letters, Lady Susan, is the tale of a cunning coquette whose shenanigans display a lack of regard for anyone, even her own daughter. The Austen Collection matches Thomas Nelson’s Seasons Collection, a series of 12 collector’s editions by a variety of authors which also feature a laser cut dust jacket, numbered limitation, and sprayed edges or bonus bookmarks of the other seasons. But as she blunders through a scheme to find a suitable husband for her new friend Harriet, Emma begins to realise that her judgement is not as good as she thought. While her novels can be difficult for younger readers to understand, the retelling in this collection makes them more accessible and engaging.

Set in a seaside town, it is an amusing tale of hypochondriacs, mixed in with family drama and a whiff of romance. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship.

The collection is also a great resource for educators and parents who are looking for classic literature to introduce to children. Northanger Abbey tells the story of a young girl, Catherine Morland who leaves her sheltered, rural home to enter the busy, sophisticated world of Bath in the late 1790s.
