A Treasure Trove of 175 Quips--Both Witty and Wise--from Beloved Writer Jane Austen! "Wisdom is better than wit, and in the long run will certainly have the laugh on her side."--Jane Austen to Fanny Austen, 1814 No wiser or wittier words have been spoken than by one of the world's most celebrated writers, Jane Austen. Nor have her words ever been presented in such an elegant and thoughtful fashion than in this lovely collection. Covering the timeless topics of happiness, family, fashion, beauty, human nature, society, and, of course, love and marriage, each quip has been curated from Austen's novels and private letters. Complementing Jane's words are more than fifty delightful 1890s illustrations from her works, resulting in the perfect gift for Janeites, aspiring writers, and anyone in pursuit of wit and wisdom.

Pride and Prejudice
Sense and Sensibility
Emma
Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey
But it also provides history into Jane Austen herself and gives even the newcomer into the Janeite world a beautiful picture of who Jane is. Taking you through her childhood, adolescents and adulthood. Through the private letters that she has sent to her sister Cassandra you can really see what her personality is and find a wonderful sense of Jane's wit and wisdom.
After reading this I see how Jane captures readers with her words and truths to most everything she says. She is a open book.
I loved this read because I have read Pride and Prejudice, Emma and Northanger Abbey but sometimes need to be reminded of the little quotes in the books and how fun she really is as an author. So I might read that novel again and again. For any Jane Austen fan or newby this book is a must and I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. ( )
