About this ebook
Emma is a charming tale of romance and manners. Emma Woodhouse, a young lady who has everything, is a determined matchmaker. She has no problem meddling in the lives of everyone around her, but when it comes to her own romantic life, is surprisingly obtuse. And of course, nothing ends up going according to plan. But it is her old friend and confidante, Knightley, who might be the biggest surprise in her life. There have been many film and television adaptations, most unusually 1995’s Clueless.

About the author
One of England’s most beloved authors, Jane Austen wrote such classic novels as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Northanger Abbey. Published anonymously during her life, Austen’s work was renowned for its realism, humour, and commentary on English social rites and society at the time. Austen’s writing was supported by her family, particularly by her brother, Henry, and sister, Cassandra, who is believed to have destroyed, at Austen’s request, her personal correspondence after Austen’s death in 1817. Austen’s authorship was revealed by her nephew in A Memoir of Jane Austen, published in 1869, and the literary value of her work has since been recognized by scholars around the world.
