Happy Birthday, Jane

 

I love this illustrated picture of Jane Austen. It is so cute and shows the imaginative energy glowing from Jane. She was born on December 16, 1775. This is her 250th anniversary of her birth. 

My favorite Austen novel is Persuasion. I recently got this beautiful edition with golden edges on the paper. I reread Persuasion about two or three times a year. I'll probably read it again before the year ends. 

Thank you Jane for all your wonderful novels. Tell me my friends, what is your favorite Austen novel? Do you love Persuasion as much as I do? Please let me know in the comments or feel free to email your thoughts.
