Manderley Press | The City Collection

£90.00

The City Collection | Five books, five cities, in one unique collection

Discover the world one book at a time with our City Collection, a beautifully curated bundle celebrating five remarkable literary cities: Edinburgh, Florence, London, Bath and New York.

Each publication is a unique portrait of a place - captured through the eyes of five exceptional and iconic writers: Robert Louis Stevenson (author of Kidnapped and Treasure Island), Kathrine Kressmann Taylor (author of Address Unknown), Joan Aiken (author of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase), Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein) and Helene Hanff (author of 84, Charing Cross Road).

From the cobbled streets of Edinburgh to the flooded stone riverbanks of Florence; from the other-worldly magic of London’s rainbow-filled streets to the Georgian and Gothic elegance of Bath; from the charmingly nostalgic view of New York in the 1980s to the quiet stories of everyday life found between its avenues, these five very special books invite you to enjoy an armchair tour across the globe.

Perfect for intrepid adventurers, leisurely travellers, lovers of urban history, and anyone who collects beautifully made books, this bundle brings together five journeys in one. Whether you’re gifting a friend or building your own library, the Manderley Press City Collection offers a passport to some of the world’s most captivating literary destinations - without ever leaving home (although, of course, we heartily recommend a visit to any and all of these fabulous cities!).

The perfect gift

  • Special bundle pricing

  • Ideal for gifting (UK & international options available)

  • A keepsake set for explorers, dreamers and readers alike

  • A unique festive gift all wrapped up and delivered to your door

  • Perfect for travel lovers, city-break enthusiasts and students of art, architecture or literature
