Fanny Price, in Mansfield Park, tells her persistent suitor that "we have all a better guide in ourselves.... than any other better guide in can be". Sometimes, however, we crave external guidance: and when this happens we could do worse than seek it in Jane Austen's subtle novels. Written to coincide with Austen's 250th birthday, this approachable and intimate work shows why and how - for over half a century - Austen has inspired and challenged its author through different phases of her life.

Part Personal memoir, part expert interaction with all the letters, manuscripts and published novels, Janet Todd's book reveals what living with Jane Austen has meant to her and what it might also mean to others. Todd celebrates the undimmable power of Austen's work to help us understand the world around us, and our own minds and bodies, and to teach us about patience, humour, beauty and the meaning of home.

I ordered a little teapot and guidebook from your gift shop.  I live in the United States and was nervous about the teapot arriving in one piece!  I received both items today and they are in perfect condition.  The gifts are for my sister’s birthday and she will love them.  Thank-you so much!
