Persuasion Book Coaster

Description: Buttercups above, daisies below, drawn like plates from a Regency botanical and set on marigold yellow, with the title in a thin-ruled box. A handmade coaster modeled after a little hardback, spine and all. Austen finished Persuasion in 1816, read the ending back — and tore it up. The quiet reconciliation she had written didn't satisfy her, so she replaced it with the scene readers now cherish: a letter composed in secret while the heroine talks across the room. The discarded chapters survive in her own handwriting — the only manuscript pages of a finished Austen novel that still exist. Why you'll love it: A botanical cover — buttercups and daisies in vintage plate style on marigold yellow — in full color Handmade from reclaimed wood and shaped like a miniature hardback, printed spine and all Fully sealed with a semigloss high-performance top coat — condensation and spills wipe clean Felt feet on the back keep your table free of scratches Perfect for: readers of second chances, autumn tea afternoons, or the friend whose favorite Austen is the quiet last one.
