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. BELOVED STORY: PERSUASION is a much beloved classic, cherished by romantic readers everywhere. This project hits all the sweet spots for Austenites while offering something new to beguile them.

Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen book, and the letters and calling cards, etc,. are done up in the most beautiful calligraphy. They are all printed/written on paper that really looks like it came from the 1800s, spots and all. Each item is held in a somewhat sheer vellum? slip cover/envelope thing that is bound into the book right after the pertinent page, and it's fun to pull out and unfold each item to read it. Despite being written in cursive, each letter was easy to read; the font size is bigger than extant letters of the period precisely for this reason (legibility). A map of Bath is included as one of the paper items, so you can find the places mentioned in the book if you want. I love the cover, with its gilt handwriting from Wentworth's letter. These editions are quite expensive, and understandably so. Highly recommended for Austen fans! ( )
