BOOK DESCRIPTION
The ultimate companion for the Jane Austen fan filled with her penetrating insights and humor on life, love, and death.
Jane Austen is one of the most popular female writers in history, best known for her stories of love, loss, and hope, which are cleverly intertwined with her witty insights into the traits and expectations of English Georgian society.
Here, in this stunning little book, you will be able to read hundreds of individual quotes from her famous works—from Pride and Prejudice and Emma to Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility—each prompting an emotional response, thoughtful musing, or even a little snigger at the wise and shrewd perceptions that Austen had of the world around her.
Utterly charming and very profound, fans of Jane Austen can revel in these much-loved quotes, while a new audience will be introduced to the joys that her books have provided since their publication many years ago.

Review
Calling all Jane Austen’s Fans, have I got a book for you!
Jane Austen’s Little Book of Wisdom” gives readers an array of quotes from Jane Austen. Compiled in a delightful book that is both enjoyable and easy to to travel with. This book has accompanied me on my summer vacation and through some troubled times. Upon receiving this wonderful book I thought I would I would just read a couple of quotes and stop. But once you start reading you really will find yourself unable to set it aside.
This book was received from the Author, and Publisher, in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.
This is a non spoiler review, because you as reader need to read this book. Also, I feel sometimes I have in the past gave away to much of the plot line. This has diminished the pleasure for would be readers.
