MAYOR OF CASTERBRIDGE (CLOTHBOUND CLASSICS) (HB)

Part of Penguin's handsome hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these collectible copies are bound in high-quality cloth with foil stamping. In a spate of drunken anger, Michael Henchard sells his wife and infant daughter for five guineas at a country fair. Later in life, he builds himself up to the position of Mayor, but his shameful secret from the past still lurks in him, threatening his self-destructive personality.
