If you have read all the novels and you are looking for your next Jane Austen fix, why not try some of her shorter fiction? This little booklet is only 83 pages long but full of those quirky and fun stories that only Jane Austen could write. Have you read any yet? #janeausten #janeaustenbooks #janeaustenstories

🌸The Jane Austen Festival in Bath will be taking place between the 11th and 20th September this year and we are delighted to announce that we, The Jane Austen Society, will be hosting a stall at the Festival Fayre on the 11th and 12th of September. With workshops, talks, concerts, tours, Regency balls, and the famous 2,000strong Promenade, the Festival has grown from a small weekend event into a beloved tenday celebration enjoyed by Austen fans from around the world. 🌿 Visit our stall at the Fayre! Based in the Brunswick Room at Bath Guildhall, we will be selling Society reports and review copies of books featured in our newsletters. There will also be a few lovely freebies, and Committee members will be on hand to chat about membership or simply share in the joy of Austen. If you’re attending, please come and say hello — we’d love to meet you. 💛
