<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Many people know that Jane Austen (1775-1817) was one of the greatest literary voices in history, celebrated by critics and the public alike, who wrote 'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice'. What, perhaps, they don't know is that she was one of eight children of a clergyman; that all of her novels were originally published anonymously, with one simply authored 'By a Lady'; and that she once accepted a marriage proposal, but changed her mind the following day. Biographic: Austen presents a novel handbook to her life and work, with an array of irresistible facts and figures converted into infographics to reveal the author behind the words."--Page 4 of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Many people know that Jane Austen (1775-1817) was one of the greatest literary voices in history, celebrated by critics and the public alike, who wrote <i>Pride and Prejudice </i>and <i>Sense and Sensibility</i>.

Whilst each book could be read cover to cover, readers are more likely to randomly select pages, stopping and pausing to find out more about the subject . . . The infographics are visually appealing and entertaining, perhaps reinvigorating an interest in the subject . . .The legacy of artists, such as Monet and Van Gogh are particularly well documented in their Biographic." --<i>Armadillo </i>magazine<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sophie Collins</b> has worked in publishing for over 30 years.
