E-Books →A Jane Austen Year Celebrating 250 Years of Jane Austen

It is created by Jane Austen's House - the enchanting Hampshire cottage where her genius flourished, now a museum that attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year - and reveals highlights from the museum's collection.
Arranged over the course of a calendar year, from snowy scenes in January to festive recipes in December, specially commissioned photography of Austen's home and possessions are brought together with extracts from her books, reproductions of her letters, and stories of her life throughout the seasons. Highlights include affectionate letters to her sister Cassandra, the story of the publication of the first edition of Pride and Prejudice, and the 'topaze crosses' that inspired Mansfield Park.
Read this book for a unique and intimate insight into Jane Austen's world. Dip into it as you will, or visit each month, and enjoy a full year of Austen - her life, works and letters, people and objects she knew, and of course her idyllic, inspiring home.
