Publisher Description
Some would argue that Jane Austen was England's finest female author—and it would be hard to argue otherwise. The characters and sweep of the lives of the landed gentry and her grip on social commentary in Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Northanger Abbey are true testament to her greatness.
But here we present another facet of her talent: her poetry. Often overlooked, her admittedly slim collection is nonetheless as charming as her more popular novels. This audiobook includes "Happy the Lab'rer," "I've a Pain in My Head," "Mock Panegyric on a Young Friend," "My Dearest Frank, I Wish You Joy," and others.

About Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775–1817) is considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist. Born in Steventon, England, she later moved to Bath and began to write for her own and her family’s amusement. Her novels, set in her own English countryside, depict the daily lives of provincial middle-class families with wry observation, a delicate irony, and a good-humored wit.
