One of the earliest bios, a great favorite of ours. With an in-depth review of Austen's works woven into the events of her life, Jenkins makes us feel as though we know this author, we sat beside her, and listened and laughed with her behind closed doors as she read aloud from her compositions. Blue-green cover with gilt lettering VG with no fading, pages clean, but dust jacket distressed. Dj now in plastic cover so will not get any worse. Pellegrini & Cudahy, NY. 1949. USED. $45.00
