About The Book

<b>From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique hardcovers—featuring cover art by Jessica Hische</b><br>It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet. In a design collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series features unique cover art by Hische, a superstar in the world of type design and illustration, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's recent film <i>Moonrise Kingdom</i> to Penguin's own bestsellers <i>Committed </i>and <i>Rules of Civility</i>. With exclusive designs that have never before appeared on Hische's hugely popular Daily Drop Cap blog, the Penguin Drop Caps series debuted with an 'A' for Jane Austen's <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>, a 'B' for Charlotte Brönte's <i>Jane Eyre</i>, and a 'C' for Willa Cather's <i>My Ántonia</i>. It continues with more perennial classics, perfect to give as elegant gifts or to showcase on your own shelves.<br><br><b>O is for O'Hara</b>. A masterpiece of American fiction and a bestseller upon its publication in 1935, <i>BUtterfield 8</i> lays bare with brash honesty the unspoken and often shocking truths that lurked beneath the surface of a society still reeling from the effects of the Great Depression. One Sunday morning, Gloria wakes up in a stranger's apartment with nothing but a torn evening dress, stockings, and panties. When she steals a fur coat from the wardrobe to wear home, she unleashes a series of events that can only end in tragedy. Inspired by true events, <i>BUtterfield 8</i> caused a sensation on its publication for its frank depiction of the relationship between a wild and beautiful young woman and a respectable, married man.
