Trilby (Classic Illustrated Edition)

- Beautifully illustrated with a number of delightful sketches that accompanied early editions of the novel, Trilby was an instant bestseller when first published in 1894. It's the hugely entertaining tale of three bohemian artists in Paris who all fall in love with Trilby - an artists' model and laundress. Svengali, a Jewish trickster, hypnotist and talented musician plays a large part in the adventures of these intriguing characters. - George du Maurier was a close friend of the novelist Henry James and was the grandfather of the novelist Dame Daphne du Maurier.- Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published over a century ago, the novel is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.- This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
