To celebrate our upcoming collaboration with the The Thing About Austen podcast, we have invited them to take over our blog and celebrate the beautiful peacock edition of Pride and Prejudice. 

If you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice, and especially if you are someone who likes to collect pretty editions of your favourite books, you are probably familiar with the famous ‘Peacock Edition’. This edition features what is arguably the most famous Pride and Prejudice cover and is one of the most coveted editions among collectors.

Daphne du Maurier, a master of suspense and intricate storytelling, frequently incorporated Gothic elements into her novels. These elements not only set the tone and atmosphere but also played a crucial role in the development of the narratives.
