Love and Freindship: And Other Youthful Writings by Jane Austen

3.0

I love Jane Austen stories; however, this one was not outstanding. Yes, I knew going into it that it was a collection of short stories she wrote in her youth and her age and inexperience are very evident. Some of the stories were very sweet and others plain silly. I did love getting glimpses in her writing of the stories that were to come and see the beginning ideas for them. An enjoyable read for any Jane Austen fan, but don't expect the wonderfulness of Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Emma, etc...
