Explore The World Of Chiltern Classics

Chiltern Publishing issued their first books in 2018, and are strongly achieving their mission to create beautiful editions of the classics. The famous 1800s “peacock edition” of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is a clear inspiration for their delightful designs, both in size and style.

Chiltern Publishing claims their editions are the most beautiful classics ever published. With embossed covers featuring vintage style floral and geometric designs, gilt-edged gloss pages, and ribbon bookmarks, these stunning classics are the perfect addition to your collection!

The books are on the smallish side reflecting the size and format of the original books when they were printed in Jane Austen’s time. They all feature wonderfully detailed and textured covers, sparkling gilt edges, smooth creamy pages, and they are robustly made with strong stitched bindings. They are a real joy to read.

Emma by Jane Austen

Beautiful, clever, rich-and single-Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage.
