An excellent survey of Austen's greatest hits, but missing my favourite pieces of her juvenilia.
Austen wrote Love and Freindship when she was 14, a sparkling display of teenage wit and irreverance, wickedly mocking the romance genre of her time. (The film of the same name is an adaptation of another story.) Followed a year later by The History of England, which does the same for the history textbooks she must have had to endure.
