A collection of Jane Austen's earliest writings, the "Juvenilia," not published in her lifetime. Immensely funny and remarkably sophisticated, their unerring accuracy has not diminished in 200 years. This captivating collection of the early works of Jane Austen uniquely displays the emerging talent of a brilliant and perceptive young woman. Completed before Austen was fifteen, the works are astonishing in their maturity. Blending the exuberance of youth with the sharp wit and devastating social criticism of her later novels, Love and Freindship is a collection not to be missed. 118 pp 5 x 8
