Book Overview
"Elia" is a collection of essays by Charles Lamb, one of the most beloved figures in English literature.

This collection showcases Lamb's talent for transforming ordinary subjects into extraordinary literary experiences, ensuring its enduring appeal to readers seeking both intellectual stimulation and heartfelt connection. Edited by George Wyllys Benedict, this edition preserves the original charm and wit of Lamb's timeless prose.
