Emma Woodhouse is clever, educated and energetic...and in imminent danger of going mad with idleness. In a time when respectable ladies are expected to sit quietly at home, she desperately needs projects--and prides herself on matchmaking, much to the chagrin of her friend Mr. Knightley. But where Emma's considerable energies focus, screwball comedy follows... A fresh feminist take on a treasured classic, Hamill's Emma breaks down convention, expectation, and even the fourth wall with vibrant comic flair--leading audiences "forward, onward, and upward!

ID: A vibrant and dynamic hot pink neon text design by Evelyn Robertson Symons. Line drawings of elements which are essential to the plot of the story: strawberries, bees and a classic Regency bonnet, adorn the frame. A line drawing of a pair of converse also hangs from the upper left corner, as a nod to the refreshingly modern and feminist take that playwright Kate Hamill has created on this classic Jane Austen romantic comedy.
