Publisher's Synopsis

Bringing one of the world's most beautiful editions of the classic novel, Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy, and a blank lined writing journal with a matching cover, in one beautifully presented gift package.
Tess of the d'Urbervilles tells the story of a naïve Tess Durbeyfield who is sent by her slothful father and ignorant mother to make an appeal to a nearby wealthy family who bear the ancestral name d'Urberville. Tess, attractive and innocent, is seduced by dissolute Alec d'Urberville and secretly bears a child, Sorrow, who dies in infancy. Later working as a dairymaid, she meets and marries Angel Clare, an idealistic gentleman who rejects Tess after learning of her past on their wedding night. Emotionally bereft and financially impoverished, Tess is trapped by necessity into giving in once again to d'Urberville, but she murders him when Angel returns
