A highly praiseworthy reissue of the elegant yet playful writings of one of our literary greats, Miss Jane Austen, and this in a highly personal manner, as it contains the letters preserved for us--the letters that this young, talented writer addressed to her sister Cassandra. The source for this publication is that of her nephew: theBrabourne edition. To be allowed to read in this way about the reflections of this lady with exceptional qualities is a gift, as one comes to realize in almost direct interaction with her, being in a very special way an enrichment of our paths; in short: a must for anyone who calls themselves an Austen fan.
