A beautiful hardback for the price of a paperback. White's Pocket Classics offer the best-loved classics in an irresistible small hardback with original illustrations embossed on the covers and all the features of a fine edition -- coloured endpapers, marker ribbon, illustrated title pages and new typesetting -- combining the best contemporary design with the luxury of a hardback and introductions by today's popular authors, to make the most appealing classics available at a paperback price and a perfect gift.

For some readers Pride and Prejudice is a delightful comic novel, for others it is a social critique, but certainly no other English novel is as popular, and a recent World Book Day survey voted it readers' most precious book of all.
