Austen fans will love these three lesser-known stories that display her genius for witty observation and shrewd characterization, and deal with familiar themes of love, folly, and social ambition among the English middle classes.

In The Watsons, Austen introduces us to Emma Watson and the choices she faces as a young woman in Georgian England. By contrast, Lady Susan describes a flirtatious and self-centred widow seeking an advantageous second marriage. In Sanditon, Austen deftly explores the life of a range of characters in an up-and-coming seaside town.

In these tales you will find enthralling dilemmas, wicked machinations, great humour, and powerful emotions. Their astounding variety shows the sheer breadth of Austen's writing and reveals her exceptional talent.
