Emma Woodhouse is the charming, artful heroine of Jane Austen's widely loved satiric novel of manners.

With her time consumed by nothing but the care of her indulgent father, Emma amuses herself by arranging the lives of others the way she sees fit.

The disastrous consequences of her meddling eventually lead Emma to see the folly of her ways - but not before we meet an unforgettable cast of characters in a story delivered with Austen's matchless wit and irony.
