Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound gift editions of much loved classic titles.
Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges.
Delightfully illustrated by the celebrated Hugh Thomson and includes an afterword by historian and author Nigel Cliff. When Fanny Price comes to live with her well-to-do cousins at Mansfeild Park, The modest, retiring ten-year-old is treated condescendingly by members of the Bartram family. A poor relation, dependent on the goodwill of her aristocratic relatives, the sweet, sensitive, and frquently ignored Fanny nevertheless eventually develops into the ethical center of the family. Trouble begins with the arrival of Mary Crawford and her brother Henry. Their sophisticated London tastes, and penchant for flirtatious activities, shatter the tranquility of the Bartram home, creating social havoc and precipiating a crisis in the family. But Fanny always clever, gracful, and pleasant-provides a bulwark of moral strength, eventually winning her family's complete acceptance (and the love of her cousin Edmund).
