“There is something soothing about returning to the lost art of letter writing with this audiobook. Add to this the elegant style of the legendary Jane Austen and the equally elegant performance of Kate Reading, and the result is fine, indeed… Reading’s steady delivery, which includes footnotes, makes the listening experience reasonable. Reading moves smoothly from letter to letter with subtlety, gently inviting us into another time…Reading’s work makes every moment worthwhile.”

“I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.”
Jane Austen at her witty, observant, intelligent, and sympathetic best, in this collection of her letters written to family and friends.
Compiled by her niece Fanny Knight’s son Edward Hugessen Knatchbull-Hugessen (the first Baron Brabourne), and edited by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, this collection includes a preface written by the editor and notes from Lord Brabourne. It was originally published in 1892.
The cover art includes a sketch of Jane Austen by her sister Cassandra, to whom most of her letters are addressed, and an image of her handwriting. This edition of The Letters of Jane Austen was published in 1908 and is in the public domain.
