I would be remiss as a lover of the regency if I did not remind my readers that today, December 16th is Jane Austen’s Birthday. She would have been 238 years 
old if I’ve calculated correctly being born in 1775 and has been a beloved author to many of us for years.
Although Jane wasn’t published until 1811 which is the beginning of the Regency era Jane wrote her novels during England’s Georgian era.
Awesome Jane quotes: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
“An artist cannot do anything slovenly.”
“What is right to be done cannot be done too soon.”
