The World of Vanity Fair: The Official Companion to the ITV Series (H/B) 2018

THE WORLD OF VANITY FAIR - THE OFFICIAL COMPANION TO THE ITV SERIES by Emma Marriott.

All is Vanity Nothing is Fair.

William Makepeace Thackeray's VANITY FAIR first appeared in the 1840s, but its power to entertain and provoke debate remains as strong as ever. The tale of the charismatic, shwred and amoral Becky Sharp's journey from miss Pinkertton's Academy for Young Ladies to a wider world in which wealth and status are valued above all else is arguably as relevant today as it was nearly 200 years ago: Becky - and her equally lawed friends and acquaintances - are familiar to us all.

The official companion to the ITV series contains everything a fan could want to know about the story. It explores the characters Thackery so memorably created and the society they inhabited, along with fascinating insights into the Georgian and regency period. and it offers location guides, behind-the-scenees details and interviews with the cast, alongside beautiful historical illustrations and set photography. Taking readers from London society to the battlefields of waterloo, the book gets right to the heart of one of the greatest novels ever written.
