Edited by Juliet McMaster, with Adela Burke and Aaron Mazo. Illustrated by Juliet McMaster. This book completes Juvenilia Press's project to edit and produce all of Austen's juvenilia with endnotes and charming illustrations. McMaster's colorful pictures will delight all readers, and are really fun if you're reading aloud to kids. The academic introduction and endnotes help us grown-ups understand the deeper meanings the precocious eleven year old relayed to family and friends with her writing, and enhance our appreciation of her abilities as a first-rate comedian. Picture yourself in the Steventon family circle, hearing Jane read her stories for the first time. Wouldn't we all love to be there? Juvenilia Press. Sydney, Australia. 2024. Paper. NEW. $14.00
