Ordinary, Extraordinary Jane Austen by Deborah Hopkinson illustrations by Qin Leng*

The Story of Six Novels, Three Notebooks, a Writing Box and One Clever Girl
Ms. Hopkinson shares about Jane Austen's childhood and her progression as a writer in this sweetly illustrated book.  She also really shines a light on Jane Austen's vibrant personality.
A timeline of Ms. Austen's life and a brief summary of the books she wrote are in the back of the book.
*Highly recommend.
