Fore-Edge painting on "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.
Publication: 2008 Penguin Classics: Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith - bound in high-quality colorful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.

All three sides are hand-made and one-of-a-kind, done in watercolors. The title of this unique three-edged work is "Pemberley's Garden Whispers": In the verdant expanse of Pemberley's gardens, Elizabeth Bennet finds herself amidst a reverie of nature and nobility. The paintings merge the serene beauty of the estate's grounds with the reflective mood at Rosings Park, capturing Elizabeth's contemplative gaze as she walks the fine line between societal expectations and the desires of her heart. The vibrant colors of her dress and the lush, detailed landscape symbolize the richness of her inner world, just as the fountain's gentle cascade speaks to the undercurrents of change shaping her destiny. It's a moment frozen in time, where the echoes of whispered confessions and the tranquility of solitude coalesce, reflecting the intricate dance of introspection and transformation central to Austen's tale.

The dimensions of the book are 20.4cmx13.8cmx3.8cm.

The paintings have been set with fixative, but it is recommended to avoid reading fore-edge painted books extensively to preserve the paint in the long term.

The book was bought brand new and hasn't been read.
