Lady Chatterley’s Lover

This elegant collector’s edition presents D. H. Lawrence classic love story, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, featuring stunning silver cover embossing and gilded page-edges.

Lady Chatterley’s Lover explores the intense affair between the sexually frustrated Connie - whose husband, Clifford, is paralysed from the waist down - and Oliver Mellors, the family gamekeeper. First published in 1928, the novel challenged the social and sexual taboos of its time and was immediately banned as obscene. Lawrence’s last and most famous work of fiction, it was eventually published in full in 1960 to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the writer’s death.

This ornate hardback edition features silver embossing on the font and back cover, patterned endpaper designs, ivory pages and stencilled page-edges, making a wonderful collectible edition for any lover of classic literature.
