About This Item
Norwalk, Connecticut: The Easton Press, 1979. Collector's Edition. Full Calf. VG Very Good. Octavo, [23.75cm/9.5inches], full gilt-embossed navy-blue calf sans dust jacket, -as issued-, pp.xxii, 759 . Illustrations by the author. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. ... The story Vanity Fair is framed as a puppet play, and the narrator, despite being an authorial voice, is somewhat unreliable. The serial was a popular and critical success; the novel is now considered a classic and has inspired several audio, film, and television adaptations. It also inspired the title of the British lifestyle magazine first published in 1868, which became known for its caricatures of famous people of Victorian and Edwardian society. In 2003, Vanity Fair was listed at No. 122 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's best-loved books.
