Jane Austen: The Complete Works

 

The Complete Works of Jane Austen

Books are always a fabulous gift. While the New York Times bestseller list has many tempting titles, you can never go wrong with the classics, especially when it is Jane Austen.

Austen’s wry portraits of English middle-class and upper-crust life in the late eighteenth are brilliant studies of human nature and this set is as lovely to look at on a shelf as it is to read.
