The World of Vanity Fair

William Thackeray's brilliant, biting satire of Regency society was first published well over 150 years ago but its power to entertain remains as strong as ever, as viewers of the forthcoming ITV adaptation will undoubtedly agree. The World Of Vanity Fair contains everything you could want to know about the story and the series, from an engrossing social history, to biographical details about Thackeray himself, introductions to his wonderful characters, interviews with members of the cast and crew, and behind the scenes details from the making of the show. Beautifully illustrated with pictures from the series and other historical material, it's the perfect gift for fans of the show, fans of Thackeray, and fans of a novel frequently listed as one of the greatest ever written.
