Description

A gorgeous and inspiring picture book biography of Jane Austen, some of the beloved writers of all time, from award-winning writer Deborah Hopkinson.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is one of our greatest writers.

But before that, she used to be just an atypical girl.

In fact, young Jane used to be a bit quiet and shy; if you had met her back then, you might not have noticed her at all. But she would have noticed you.

Jane watched and listened to the entire things people around her did and said, and locked those observations away for safekeeping.

Jane also loved to read. She devoured everything in her father’s massive library and before long, she began creating her own stories. In her time, the preferred books were grand adventures and romances, but Jane wanted to go her own way…and went on to invent an entirely new more or less novel.

Ordinary, Odd Jane Austen includes a timeline and quotes from Austen’s most well liked novels.

Parents and grandparents, in addition to teachers and librarians, will enjoy introducing children to Jane Austen through this accessible, beautifully packaged picture book.
