Editorial Review:
Collected together in one volume, The Complete Novels show the development of Austen as a writer and social commentator. From the early optimism and youthful energy of Northanger Abbey to the quiet and subtle art of Persuasion, this collection reveals the breadth of one of the best loved novelists of all time.
Jane Austen wrote in the eighteenth century, but her novels are timeless. This complete anthology is unique among single-volume editions of her work because it includes the obscure but delightful Lady Susan, along with the six better-known novels and thirty of Hugh Thomson's irresistible drawings.
All of Jane Austen's novels are love stories, all are stories of country gentry, and all end happily, one way or another. Her plots have the complexity of life and her characters are described with inimitable style and wit—whether caustic or warmly affectionate.
The novels contained in this anthology are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Lady Susan. The nineteenth-century illustrations of Hugh Thomson capture the flavor of Jane Austen's characters and enhance this extraordinary collection of the complete works of one of the greatest novelists of all time.

Rating:  - Just got the book....brand spanking new
I was so excited to receive this book in the mail and I've finally got it. It's beautiful! And it smells brand spanking new! The leather binding makes it look so exquisite and elegant. I have never read any of Austen's novels so I hope this book will withstand my man-handling of it! LOL
I'll keep an eye out for the spelling mistakes but that shouldn't be too big of a deal as long as I can still understand what's going on. The gold edging is also quite lovely.
Rating: - Read this!
This A fantastic book for any one to read! All Jane Austen's works are delightful and well written. Everyone should read them.
Rating:  - It's simple...
I just ADORE Jane Austen's book (well, perhaps not all the novels in the same way...) and I can find just a fault in this book: it's too heavy to read it at bed!
By the way, the quality of the paper and the binding is poor, but the book is cheap and the ratio is, all in all, good.
Rating:  - My Book!
