A full year of Jane Austen

More Austen than you can handle in one Year You might think that there are only six novels by Jane Austen and you would be correct, but there is an entire world of Jane Austen out there that I would like to tell you about. More movies come out every few years, there are web shows, TV shows with Regency and Jane Austen episodes.
There is also works of Jane Austen that you may have never even heard about. Short stories, and plays she created when she was a wild minded teenager. There are also a few stories she never finished.
