Customer Reviews

This is delightful!

This wonderful little book is full of quotes from Jane's letters and books. In addition you get little tidbits about different movies and mini series that have been made over the years and trivia about Jane's family and different biographies. Also included are the charming illustrations by Henry Matthew Brock and Charles Edmund Brock depicting scenes from her books. I leave this book out on my coffee table for my fellow Jane-ites to enjoy. It is also there for my friends who are just discovering or have not yet discovered the delights of reading Jane Austen. There is always room for another fan of this wonderfully witty woman and helps the neophytes discover "what all the fuss is about."
