Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775, in Steventon, Hampshire, England. She is one of my favorite authors. She wrote only 6 books in her short life – she died at age 41.

So today, remember Jane Austen’s lovely works, her spirited heroines, her steadfast heroes, and her deliciously evil villains. Also, get excited for the new version of Emma coming out in February!
