Description
‘What are young men to rocks and mountains?’ wondered Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice – and more than 200 years later, many of us are still asking ourselves the same thing!
Little wonder, then, that Jane Austen’s words are some of the most enduring, as her wit and wisdom extended far beyond her lifetime. Accompanied by beautiful illustrations that portray Austen's characters and her world at its most relatable, Jane Said It Best is a celebration of over 70 of her astute observations that still ring true to this day.
In time for the 250th anniversary of her birth, this book brings to life quotes from all of Austen’s beloved novels, as well as her private writings. The perfect gift for any Janeite, or anyone in need of some wise words to live by.
