Les mer
A delightful collection of Jane Austen's juvenilia in a pocket hardback edition, with an introduction by Kathryn White.
Every neighbourhood should have a great lady. The great lady of Sanditon was Lady Denham
We will all die, though probably not from the thing that we feared or foresaw. That certainty haunts the book, sharpens the pitch of its comedy, and sets it apart from her earlier works.

Biographical note

Jane Austen was born in 1775 in rural Hampshire, the daughter of an affluent village rector who encouraged her in her artistic pursuits. In novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma she developed her subtle analysis of contemporary life through depictions of the middle-classes in small towns. Her sharp wit and incisive portraits of ordinary people have given her novels enduring popularity. She died in 1817.
