"Raised in England by adoptive parents, Alison Larkin was actually born in America. She herself is a comic writer and performer and she approaches Austen as a satirist...the voice reveals all." The New Yorker
Multi award-winning writer/narrator Alison Larkin brings the teenage writings of Jane Austen to sparkling new life in this delightful collection. Listeners will enjoy identifying where Jane Austen's later comic creations came from as they listen to young Jane Austen gleefully lampooning the popular literature and culture of her time.
Introduction by Virginia Woolfe and Alison Larkin

Love and Freindship (yes, that's the correct spelling)
A Collection of Letters
Scraps, including more letters, Act One of a Play and a Tale
The History of England
"This girl of 15 sitting in her private corner of the common parlor was writing not to draw a laugh from brothers and sisters and not for home consumption. She was writing for everybody, for nobody, for her age and for our own. In other words, even at that early age, Jane Austen was writing. The girl of fifteen is laughing, in her corner, at the world." Virginia Woolfe
