Jane Austen was considered to be one of  English literature's greatest novelist of all times.  She wrote about simple day to day events that happened to her life as well as all around her. She never failed to entertain her readers with her wit and humor.  Born on December 16, 1775, seventh child of  the rector of Steventon in Hampshire, she wrote stories that transcends through time and race. Her novels made us laughed and cried, even though it had happened hundred of years ago.  Her spontaniety makes us want to read more and more of her novels until we come to the end and wished she had written more stories.  But sadly, everything has to come to an end, she died on July 18, 1817 and was buried in Winchester Cathedral.

I don't know when I began to love Jane Austen. But as Fitzwilliam Darcy said on his falling in love with Lizzy Bennet, "I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words which laid foundation.  It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew I had begun." :-) And, I must confess, I did feel that way too. :-) I don't mind being lost in all her novels once in awhile.  The past is so nice to discover and through her works, we are all carried back in time where decorum is deemed to be important and where chilvarly burns passionately alive.

Here are some of Jane Austen's works. You shall see my favorite passages from the said novels and photos from the film adaptations of her works that I was able to watch, thanks to my dear friend Pam, who unselfishly shared with me all these.:-)
