Translated from Italian by Matteo Benassi. This gorgeous black & white graphic fictional biography of Jane Austen will thrill those young folks who want to know more about her earl y years. The author has written the story and drawn the artwork. Her Jane is feisty and funny, and with a dash of fantasy in an otherwise very accurate depiction of Austen's early life, she decides to remain a writer rather than follow through with her engagement and marry Tom Lefroy. A very good brief, completely factual biography at the back of the book, written by Mara Barbuni, is accompanied by a timeline of Austen's life. Graphic Universe, a Division of Lerner Publishing Group. 2018. Paper. NEW. $9.00 Show more
