Love and Friendship

A collection of Austen's earliest writings, written when she was very young. Many of these were written for the amusement of her family, and are reproduced here in their original form, with all misspellings and other inaccuracies intact. A fascinating look into the young mind of one of the world's greatest authors. You can already see in these writings the beginnings of what would become the unmistakable Jane Austen style.
