The Wicked Wit of Jane Austen
Amuse yourself time and again with the collected wit and wisdom of Jane Austen, quoted from playfully revealing letters to her sister Cassandra, as well as from her early works and novels. You'll be privy to Jane's delightfully irreverent comments about her appearance ("My hair was at least tidy"), parties ("There were very few beauties"), recipe for happiness ("a large income"), writing a novel ("my own darling child") and the advantages of being a chaperone ("I am put on the sofa near the fire and can drink as much wine as I like").
