Snuggle up with your favorite book! This is a pillow version of Persuasion, by Jane Austen. It's plush, soft, & the perfect addition to your book nook chair. Measuring approximately 8.5 inches across, 11 tall, & 4 wide, this book pillow is soft & squishy, but will still keep it shape while sitting up right. Open the fabric cover to find the first page of Persuasion printed & readable! The inside cover also features the letter Captain Wentworth writes Anne at the end of the book in a handwritten font I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years & a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak & resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think & plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment & constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W. I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house this evening or never. When closed, the edges of the book's 'pages' cushion have text from the first chapter of the book printed in old, faded text. From a distance, this appears to be closed pages. The fabric cover is a light turquoise blue with swirls in shades of blue to mimic the sea. The border of the book had rope & shell-like detailing as well. The cover has the title of the book, the author, & a cameo of a ship. The back of the book has a silhouette of a regency couple & a quote in the center that reads I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives Made from cotton fabric & foam stuffing, this book pillow is sturdy, yet soft. It is almost entirely hand sewn as well. Hours of detail have gone into this book to create a recognizable yet unique version of Persuasion. This is the perfect gift for your favorite teacher, bibliophile, or even for a child just learning to read. This would also make a great ring bearer pillow for a literary themed wedding! We recommend not putting the book into a washing machine, but rather using a damp cloth to remove any stains. If the book becomes wrinkled, a simple press of the iron will straighten it right out. The book will be ironed before shipping, but keep in mind it may become slightly wrinkled during shipping & might need a quick press when it arrives. We love custom designs so don't hesitate to ask! Please note, as per the title, description, & photos, this is not an actual book with pages, but a PILLOW book, instead of pages, it is a cushion. The front cover opens to the first page printed on fabric only Persuasion Pillow Book
