A haiku for Jane...
how do you keep yourself so
time stands still for you
Some eye candy for Jane, a certain Mr Lefroy...
And cake, must have cake...
(Charming Petites)
by Jane Austen
edited by Sophia Bedford-Pierce
illustrated by Mullen & Katz
introduction by Barbara Paulding
''There is no enjoyment like reading!
How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!''
''A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment.''
''One cannot have too large a party.''
Fans of Jane Austen will love this delightful ''Charming Petite,'' filled with the author's wit and wisdom on women, men, relationships, and life.
Elegant little gift book features floral borders and silhouette-style images throughout, a ribbon marker, and a 24K gold-plated charm. 80 pages. 3-1/4 inches by 4 inches high.
