Vanity Fair

Summary:
Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much-loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high-quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. Brilliant anti-heroine Becky Sharp will do anything to climb to society's loftiest heights and couldn't be more different from her rich, sweet-natured schoolmate, Amelia Sedley. Their parallel lives are marked by love, lust, marriage, fortune, and loss, in all their different guises, as they navigate the corrupt circus of upper-class Regency England. Hailed as a literary masterpiece upon first publication, Vanity Fair has never wavered in popularity and remains a highly entertaining satire of early nineteenth-century high society. This gorgeous edition includes an afterword by the award-winning author and critic, Henry Hitchings.
