Cranford

A timeless and wonderful nineteeth- century classic in an omnibus edition including the stories My Lady Ludlow, Mr. Harrisons Confessions and The Cage at Cranford. Cranford" is the best known and most charming of Elizabeth Gaskell's novels. It is a comic portrait of an early Victorian country village and its genteel inhabitants, mostly women, whose social attitudes remain firmly unchanging against the modernising world, and whose domestic details dominate conversation. Gaskell describes the uneventful lives of Cranford's inhabitants in this witty and poignant classic which deserves to be read and re-read.
