To mark the 250th anniversary of one of England’s most beloved and iconic novelists, The Folio Society is releasing a breathtaking limited edition box set of Jane Austen’s complete novels. Lavishly illustrated and limited to just 750 copies, ‘The Complete Novels by Jane Austen' will be available on 9th September 2025, exclusively from foliosociety.com.
Bound in silk-and-cotton jacquard woven by Stephen Walters—the same historic silk weavers who created the fabric for Princess Diana’s wedding dress—this six-volume set features new artwork by acclaimed illustrator Sarah Young. You'll also find a foreword by Lucy Worsley, the celebrated historian and author of ‘Jane Austen at Home', making this collector’s edition a tribute to Austen’s genius and a triumph of bookmaking.
From ‘Pride and Prejudice' to ‘Emma', ‘Mansfield Park' to ‘Persuasion', every one of Austen’s six novels is presented here with the finest attention to detail using first edition text, 2-page frontispiece and five linocut illustrations per volume, fifteen vignettes woven through each story, gilded page edges, ribbon markers, and specially commissioned monograms. The books are housed in a cloth-covered presentation box designed by Emily Benton. The set also features introductions from literary luminaries including Elena Ferrante, Sebastian Faulks, Val McDermid, and Siri Hustvedt.
Jane Austen’s novels continue to inspire readers and filmmakers more than two centuries after their publication. With their sharp wit, unforgettable characters, and timeless themes of love, class, and identity, Austen’s works are as relevant today as they were at the turn of Nineteenth Century England.
Whether you’re a lifelong Austen fan or a collector of rare and beautiful books, ‘The Complete Novels by Jane Austen‘ is a literary heirloom for the ages—an essential celebration of one of Britain’s greatest authors. Claim your strictly limited edition when it publishes this September.
