This was sweet. If you’re familiar with Jane Austen’s writing, it’s very fun to see these stories from her younger years. I love her penchant for ridiculous and I love her sweet dedications, particularly to her sister.

Who knew Jane Austen was so hilariously witty and catty? These short pieces are absurd, insulting, and glorious. I love that the original spelling and grammar mistakes have been preserved. Well worth a read.

The first Austen I've read; you can see the beginnings of literary brilliance, but its clear that these teenaged writings are not up to the quality of her later works
