by J. E. Austen Leigh (Author), George Cavendish (Annotations by)

James Edward Austen Leigh's short biography of "dear aunt Jane" may not be a critical insight into the famous novelist's life or her work but is nevertheless written by a relative who knew her and draws on sources only available to Jane's wider family.

The book also includes a cancelled chapter of Persuasion and a fragment of Jane's last work.
