This beautiful pair of vintage omnibus volumes brings the stately grandeur of a classic library directly to a country home. Published in 1982 by Octopus Books, these editions are bound in an elegant, deep forest green faux leather with fine grain texture, complemented by vibrant gilt lettering and striking gilded page edges. One volume brings together the complete and unabridged timeless works of the Brontë sisters—Wuthering Heights, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and Jane Eyre—while the companion volume houses Charles Dickens' treasured masterpieces, Nicholas Nickleby, Hard Times, and A Christmas Carol.
A handsome addition to a stack on a weathered bedside table, a cozy reading nook, or displayed upright on an open farmhouse dresser, these volumes beautifully capture the nostalgic, literary romance prized in Country Cottage and French Provincial decor. The traditional gold-on-green spines offer an instant sense of history, framing the beloved stories that defined nineteenth-century literature. Providing both exceptional display appeal and centuries of storytelling, this set is a lovely gift for a collector or an effortless way to ground a rustic tabletop vignette.
Condition: As new condition with bright, unrubbed gilt titles on the spines and pristine, reflective gold gilding on all page edges. The green covers remain sharp, uniform, and entirely free of shelf wear, corner bumping, or spine creasing, preserving their original 1982 luster perfectly.
Dimensions: Each cover measures approximately 24 cm high by 16 cm wide.
