This beautifully illustrated book charts the life, works and legacy of one of the world's most beloved authors, offering a seasonal guide to Jane Austen's life through the objects that surrounded her, the personal letters and manuscripts that she created, and the events that shaped her life and understanding. It is published in partnership with 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.
