Description
[b]Bicentenary Edition" Celebrating 200 years of Jane Austen[/b]In a country parsonage in the late 18th century, there lived a large family of seven children. They were all bright and clever and noisy, so nobody really noticed when little Jane turned quietly into a genius The modest, obedient youngest daughter of the Reverend Austen was to grow up to be one of the greatest writers in the English language. And the story of how she succeeded is every bit as romantic as one of her novels

Reviews"Great stories - entertaining but not patronising". * Financial Times * I love these books. A stunning collection that my children love as much as I do ... Each has its own distinct style but all are highly charged dramas... * Observer *
