",Handsome is as handsome does, he is therefore a very ill-looking man.",- Jane Austen in a letter to Cassandra, 24th January, 1813Ponder the wisdom and witticisms of Jane Austen in this delightful box kit, complete with a full-colour guide to her life and times, 52 inimitable quotes and a handy display stand.Jane Austen is perhaps the Regency era's most beloved writer, and a whole industry has grown up around her witty novels, her life, and her unforgettable characters. Here historian and author Suzie Grogan takes some of the most memorable quotations from her novels and explains them for an inspiring look at What Would Jane Do?Her humorous take on universal themes of love, loss, betrayal, scandal and society make her the ideal guide for discovering wisdom in unusual places. What can we learn from Marianne's sensibilities? Or Elizabeth's prejudice? Here Darcy becomes more than a handsome, proud man and instead shows this level of profound self-knowledge: 'As a child I was taught what was right, but I was not taught to correct my temper. I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit.' Quiet little Fanny Price is the wise utterer of the words: 'We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.'This book and card deck will permit you to find deeper meaning in the quotes of Jane Austen's characters as well as understanding more about the Georgian society in which she lived.ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Inspiration Kits contain full-colour guides to a mode of wisdom, accompanied by beautiful quote cards and a display stand to rest them upon, all enclosed in a giftable lidded box.
