About this eBook

A wonderful little collection of short stories told in the form of fictional letters by famous English author Jane Austen.

Although written when she was just 14 years old for the enjoyment of family and friends, her witty dialogue and characteristic sense of humour are very much there. This epistolary work showcases Austen's sharp humor and keen observations of human nature, providing a unique look at the social dynamics and romantic entanglements of her characters.

A Collection of Letters is one of Austen's earliest works (it includes her original spelling quirks). Perfect for Austen enthusiasts, this collection highlights the budding talent of one of literature's most beloved authors.

Jane Austen (1775 – 1817) was an English author known primarily for her novels, which critique the 18th century English upper classes and contemporary novels of sensibility. Her use of irony coupled with biting social commentary and realism have led to her wide acclaim amongst scholars and critics, her work contributing to the transition to 19th-century literary realism.
