1.		The House of Mirth (Everyman's Library (Cloth)) from Everyman's Library Price: $14.96 Customer Review: Lily Bart lives in the House of Mirth, which according to a biblical passage, is the house of fools; the house of mourning is reserved for the wise. Lily Bart is no fool and she struggles throughout to hold on to her permanent truth (she won't "Bart"er her self, after all). Her permanent truth... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Age of Innocence (Barnes & Noble Classics) from Barnes & Noble Classics Price: $4.95 Customer Review: This is a book into which I can dip at any moment. The characters are drawn so clearly that they do not disappear into stereotype but instead are constantly surprising the reader with nuances no matter the number of reads. Newland Archer is the prototype of a man caught between the world of his... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Ethan Frome from IndyPublish.com Price: $88.99 Customer Review: I got to know: what idiot decided this terrible thing should become a classic? It's depressing, overdramatic, and just plain silly. I realize that many people were deeply moved by this novel, but why? It seems to defy the very purpose of writing a novel. Call me a romantic, but I believe that the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The House of Mirth from Virago UK Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I have to say this was no easy read for me. I had a bit of a difficult time with the English. Edith Wharton writes in a way that makes things sound beautiful yes, but I wasn't always confident that I was comprehending the exact meaning she intended. The English is far from plain or direct, much like... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Age of Innocence (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $9.95 Customer Review: The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton This is an interesting and a compelling read. The novel is very well written.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Italian Villas and Their Gardens: The Original 1904 Edition from Rizzoli Price: $23.10 Customer Review: My sister read about this book in a recent magazine and we are totally delighted to see that it was available as a reprint from the original plates. Maxfield Parrish, the painter, did the illustrations and they are wonderful in their dreamlike qualities. And the prose by Ms Wharton are flowing and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The New York Stories of Edith Wharton (New York Review Books Classics) from NYRB Classics Price: $11.53 Customer Review: If you like Edith Wharton like I do, this is a candy store of tales written in brilliant prose. The collection of stories also spans her career as a writer and the dramatic changes in society during her lifetime. I really loved this book.

8.		The Age of Innocence (Norton Critical Editions) from W. W. Norton Price: $13.50 Customer Review: Newland Archer, the protagonist of Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, opens this story as an almost haughtily optimistic and self-satisfied young man - at the top of New York society, about to announce his engagement to the beautiful and sought-after May Welland, with little to mar what... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Custom of the Country (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.40 Customer Review: Edith Wharton is still one of America's most well-known female novelists and writers. She creates Undine Spragg who aspires to adapt and adjust into New York City high society which is a recurring theme in Wharton's books like Age of Innocence or House of Mirth. Unlike House of Mirth, Undine is more... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		The Decoration of Houses from Rizzoli Price: $23.10 Customer Review: Amidst today's seemingly endless supply of domestic guides and treatises on interior decoration, Edith Wharton might be surprised that her The Decoration of Houses (co-authored with architect Ogden Codman, Jr.) would still be as relevant and necessary as it is a century after its first publication.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Selected Shorts: Timeless Classics (Selected Shorts: A Celebration of the Short Story) from Symphony Space Price: $18.48 Customer Review: So much fun! Great for a few minutes or hours.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Ethan Frome from Waking Lion Press Price: $9.95 Customer Review: First of all, I want to say -- Stephen Masse, you are an exquisite writer and I absolutely concur with your review. Thank you for what you said about this book, I so rarely find anyone who fully appreciates it. I don't think that I can add much more except to say that I read this book at a time in... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Novels: The House of Mirth / The Reef / The Custom of the Country / The Age of Innocence (Library of America) from Library of America Price: $26.40 Customer Review: America and Europe of the 1800s were stiff, gilded, formal place, full of "old" families, rigid customs and social transgressions. And nobody chronicled them better than Edith Wharton, who spun exquisitely barbed novels out of the social clashes of the late nineteenth century -- both social... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		The Buccaneers (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century) from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I loved the language and the characterisation. The characters appear "real" from the moment they show up, and you can't help but cheer for these girls to find happinness. The book is a wonderful window to New York and London society at the time. Fascinating.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Ethan Frome (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $8.00 Customer Review: I first heard of Ethan Frome as a child in the late '60s, on Allan Sherman's parody song "Won't you come home, Disraeli?" In that parody, the queen is "getting awful lonesome/cause all I do/is sit here reading 'Ethan Frome'...Disraeli, won't you please come home?" Well, when I got old enough to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		The Age of Innocence (Barnes & Noble Classics) from Barnes & Noble Classics Price: $5.95 Customer Review: Edith Wharton's THE AGE OF INNOCENCE is quite straight forward and an easier read than many novels considered "classics". I reread it after viewing the film and was very impressed by how close Scorsese had stayed to the text of the novel and actually appreciated the film more! Watch the movie and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Old New York from Scribner Price: $10.20 Customer Review: We enjoyed this book , especially the story "The Old Maid". We are fans of Editith Wharton and this did not disappoint.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton from Scribner Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Edith Wharton is an acknowleged giant of the fiction novel. But this particular book of hers needs to come complete with a disclaimer. I would suggest: DON'T EXPECT TO READ THE AVERAGE GHOST STORY HERE. My one negative thing to say about this book is actually a positive. I could only read one of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.		The Age of Innocence (Everyman's Library) from Everyman's Library Price: $14.96 Customer Review: Imagine living in a world where life is governed by intricate rituals; a world "balanced so precariously that its harmony [can] be shattered by a whisper" (Wharton); a world ruled by self-declared experts on form, propriety and family history - read: scandal -; where everything is labeled and yet,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
