REVIEW
This is a wonderful children’s book about the life of Jane Austen.
I was immediately drawn to this story, it’s a great way to learn a little bit about her background. The book is very short and contains beautiful illustrations and concise descriptions, this title would make a great addition to any bookshelf.
At the end of the book there’s a section with Jane Austen’s short biography and timeline. Overall, I enjoyed it and recommend it to children and those young at heart.
