This was a fascinating and engaging account of Jane and her family. Highly recommend it to those who enjoy Jane Austen's books and want to learn more about her life. "Jane Austen: Her Life and Letters. A Family Record" (1913). The book lovingly details Jane's birth, childhood, adolescence, and maturity; the everyday minutiae of her life, the circumstances in which she wrote her juvenilia and her six novels, and her early death.
