<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Sanditon, Lady Susan, & The History of England: The Juvenilia and Shorter Works of Jane Austen</i> is a rare collection and a must for all Jane-ites. <p/>Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features an introduction by Kathryn White. <p/>Representing what Richard Church regarded as Jane Austen's literary work-basket, this collection contains not only her hilarious <i>History of England</i>, illustrated by her favourite sister Cassandra, but the unfinished <i>Sanditon</i>, the novel of her maturity on which she was working at her death, aged forty-two. Also included are the two epistolary novels, <i>Lady Susan</i> and <i>Love and Friendship</i> [sic], and other, shorter works: 'The Watsons', 'Catharine', 'Lesley Castle', 'Evelyn', 'Frederic and Elfrida', 'Jack and Alice', 'Edgar and Emma', 'Henry and Eliza' and 'The Three Sisters'.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jane Austen was born in 1775 in rural Hampshire, the daughter of an affluent village rector who encouraged her in her artistic pursuits. Jane remained in the vicinity of her childhood home for much of her life. As such it was through family and friends that she learned most of her considerable understanding of manners and relationships. In novels such as<i> Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park</i> and <i>Emma</i> 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.
