For nearly two hundred years Jane Austen has captivated readers with her savory wit, sly irony and satire that she crowds into almost every quiet, well-bred line of her novels. There is great sanity, common sense and worldly wisdom to be found in her exploration of human nature—not to mention the timeless romance that fans just can’t seem to get enough of. Her work not only inspired several movies, but many modern authors set their novels in the Regency Period and use her story settings to create spin off characters and stories of their own.
