Happy Birthday Jane Austen

Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775. She left us with six fabulous novels:
Sense and Sensibility,
Northanger Abbey,
Pride and Prejudice,
Mansfield Park,
Emma
and Persuasion
along with the incomplete novel Sanditon.
Today, many modern authors write novels in the Jane Austen style or continue the lives of her characters.
Darcys Give a Ball by Elizabeth Newark
Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler
Emma $ Knightly: Perfect Happiness in Highbury by Rachel Billington
The Darcy Connection by Elizabeth Aston
Mr. Darcy's Diary by Amanda Grange
Lost in Austen: Create Your Own Jane Austen Adventure by Emma Campbell Webster
Just Jane: A Novel of Jane Austen's Life by Nancy Moser
Stop by the Stanly County Public Library today and check out one of these great books. Some of the titles are also available on audio, and the library has movie versions too.
