The Widow's Tale
The Widow's Tale is one of the first stories written by Jane Austen, and first appeared more than 100 years later as Love and Freindship(sic). Generally considered a juvenile story it was actually written by Jane Austen during her teenage years and is dated as being completed on June 13, 1790.
The Widow's Tale is a parody of the romance novels of Miss Austen's day--a slyly humorous tale filled with outrageous coincidences and youthful follies, somewhat reluctantly related via a series of letters from the older-yet no wiser--widowed, Laura, to the daughter of her oldest friend. It is a charmingly ridiculous tale, and delivers great insight into the emerging wit and brilliant of a very young Jane Austen.
This version includes an introduction by Teresa Thomas Bohannon author of the Regency Romance novel A Very Merry Chase, and is fully illustrated with 27 charmingly authentic, period drawings.
