The Great Gatsby: V&A Collector's Edition

This edition offers a fresh take on a classic story, exploring themes of wealth, love, and the American Dream in a stylish format.

With a stunning cover design inspired by the iconic fashion featured in The Great Gatsby: V&A Collector's Edition, this beautiful hardback edition is a special Puffin Classic created in partnership with the world-famous V & A Museum. The book includes an exclusive foreword by Stephanie Wood, an Exhibition Project Curator in the Fashion, Textiles and Furniture Department at the V&A.

At the heart of this classic tale is Jay Gatsby, a young, handsome, and fabulously rich man who embodies the spirit of the Jazz Age. However, beneath the sparkling surface of his extravagant life lies a deep, unfulfilled longing. F. Scott Fitzgerald masterfully captures the glamour and excess of this era while also exposing the disillusionment that followed in post-war America.

This stylish, fashion-inspired edition of The Great Gatsby: V&A Collector's Edition not only celebrates the timeless narrative but also highlights the cultural significance of the period's fashion. Readers are invited to delve into Gatsby's world, where dreams and reality collide, and the pursuit of happiness often leads to heartbreak.
