Chiltern Publishing was formed in 2018 with a vision to create the most beautiful classics.

Jane Austen's original books (particularly Pride and Prejudice) from the 1800s were our inspiration.

So, using a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques, 19th Century quality has met 21st Century technology.

With wonderfully detailed embossed covers, sparkling golden edges, creamy pages, and stitched binding they are the most beautiful classics ever published. Catherine is invited to stay with the Tilney family at their home, Northanger Abbey, and she imagines herself in a Gothic romance.

However, she soon learns that real life is not like the novels she loves.

Northanger Abbey is a satire of the Gothic novel and a commentary on the importance of reading.
