The book features color illustrations of the hand-written manuscript in the British Library, along with the actual text. Charming and wonderful. Written when she was just 15, Jane Austen's The History of England is a wickedly funny, sharply satirical take on British monarchy and politics, parodying serious historical texts with wild irreverence. Penned in 1791 and humorously "illustrated" by her sister Cassandra, the manuscript barrels through the reigns of kings and queens from Henry IV to Charles I with dramatic flair, blatant favoritism, and biting sarcasm-mocking historians, idolizing Mary Queen of Scots, and poking fun at royal scandal. Part teenage rebellion, part literary parody, it's Austen's early genius on full display-bold, hilarious, and defiantly unladylike. Firmly readable, desirable and collectible. Paper / Soft cover reprint edition in very good condition, flex covers, a sturdy book. Stored flat. Overall wonderful reprint book.
