Our Favorite Jane Austen Websites
Not only do you love Jane Austen, you *really* love Jane Austen. If you had your way (and a time machine), you'd live in Regency England; attend assembly balls in white gloves, silk and lace, and spend your evenings listening to Jane read aloud in front of the fireplace whilst Anne Elliot softly plays the pianoforte, Cassandra embroiders a handkerchief on the sofa and Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Darcy, Edward Ferrars and Miss Fairfax play whist at the card table.

Well, you are certainly not alone. It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen graciously invites you into her world and keeps you there.

Now you want more! Here is where to find precisely what you require.
