THE OFFICIAL COMPANION TO THE ITV SERIES

William Thackeray's Vanity Fair was first published in the 1840s, but its power to entertain and provoke debate remains as strong as ever. The tales of charismatic, shrewd, and amoral Becky Sharp's journey from Miss Pinkerton's academy for young ladies to a wider world in which wealth and status is valued above all else is arguably as relevant today as it was nearly 200 years ago: Becky and her equally flawed friends and acquaintances are familiar to us all.

This, the official companion to the ITV series contains everything a fan could want to know about the story. It explores the characters Thackeray so memorably created and the society they inhabited, along with fascinating insights about the period. And it offers location guides, behind the scenes details, and interviews with the cast, alongside beautiful illustrations and set photography.

Taking readers from London society to the battlefields of Waterloo, the book gets right to the heart of one of the greatest novels ever written.

Decent book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2018

Quite a decent sized book filled with a lot of colourful pictures of the cast as well as production and locations and background to the making of the excellent show. Could have had more background depth but it still has a reasonable amount of detail about the period and the mores of the time. Glad I purchased the edition.

A world where everyone is striving for what is not worth having.

An excellent book that is definitely worth having. Beautiful photographs with text explaining Thackeray's book and the making of the film. Miss Becky Sharp making her way in Georgian England, the daughter of an artist and an opera dancer flirts and seduces her way through early 19th Century society.

Just love this book. Apart from showing details of the filming and the sets, it gives the background against which Vanity was set. If you loved the series ( which I did ) you will want to have this book!

Can recommend the book, good value for money. Lots of information and photographs, hardback, printed on smooth good quality paper. Delivery was less than 48 hours after ordering, well packaged. Was very pleased with the delivery and the book.
