About this ebook
Discover the remarkable life of Jane Austen, the great British novelist, told in an inspiring biography for kids!
Jane Austen grew up in the English countryside, surrounded by books, stories and a lively family. At a time when girls had fewer opportunities than boys, she discovered a love of reading and writing and dreamed of becoming an author.
