Thomas Hardy Boxed Set: Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Far from the Madding Crowd, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Jude (Penguin Clothbound Classics) Hardcover – 29 Aug. 2019

Master storytelling

If you love Thomas Hardy then you will love this collection. Lovely editions, reasonable price and great quality. The penguin clouthbound books are all amazing and worth collecting. Will definitely add more of the clouthbound editions to my collection

They look beautiful on a bookshelf and really nice feel to the covers. Unfortunately I doubt I’ll ever read them as the font is approx 8/9 which is far too small to read comfortably.

Very enjoyable.

If you want to read all (yes, all) of Hardy's novels at your leisure for 99p, this is the perfect purchase. Some of the stories are well-know, but even those that are not were still interesting for their descriptions of life in 19th century Wessex.

Arrived with the box containing the books damaged in the top right corner

Brilliant compendium, with books in order of publication, author's note at the start, and a fantastic way to take a step back into the history of the period, whilst the characters and their flaws remain topical
