Literary Giveaway Blog Hop




Over 50 blogs participating all offering one or more giveaways of literary (non) fiction or bookish items.
 My Giveaway - International

One winner can choose one book from the six pictured below which will be sent from the Book Depository. In keeping with the theme of A Victorian Celebration which I'm participating in during Jun/Jul  my choices for this giveaway are all classics by Victorian authors - Vintage Classics editions.
  
The Ladies


The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot.......tells the story of Maggie Tulliver and her brother Tom as they grow from children to young adults in a small English rural town.
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell........leaving a rural idyll in the south of England, Margaret Hale is initially shocked by the social unrest and poverty she finds in the north.
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte.........when the mysterious and beautiful Helen Graham becomes the new tenant of Wildfell Hall rumours immediately begin to swirl around her.

The Gentlemen


No Name by Wilkie Collins.........after the tragic deaths of their parents, Magdalen and Norah discover the devastating news that they are both illegitimate and not entitled to any inheritance.
Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens........John Harmon returns to England after years of exile to claim his inheritance: a great fortune and a beautiful young woman to whom he is betrothed, but has never met. 
The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope.........when the Melmottes arrive in London everyone agrees their manners are wanting, their taste is excreable and their lineage and background decidedly shady. But their money is far from revolting!

  28. Oh, my gosh - amazing choices! I'm participating in the Victorian Celebration too (and I'm hosting a giveaway challenge for participants next week.. shhh!)

    I read Gaskell's Cranford recently, as part of the celebration, and really enjoyed it. I also read Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte and enjoyed that, too. So difficult. BUT I did make a commitment to read all the Bronte sisters' works, and I haven't yet read (nor do I own) Tenant of Wildfell Hall... so I'd like to win that!

    Thanks so much for the chance.
