A review by laurenjpegler
The History Of England by Jane Austen

4.0

This was a fun and interesting little book written by Jane Austen just before she turned sixteen. From a 'partial, prejudiced and ignorant' historian's point of view, Austen gives us her thoughts and opinions on the monarchy, spanning from Henry the IV to Charles I.

I found this very witty and funny, and I especially liked her little rant on Elizabeth. I would definitely recommend to those who are a fan of Austen's works - her juvenilia is just as great as her later work.
