Description
On a beautiful spring day, sisters Jane and Cassandra enjoy tea with Mother in the garden. Jane is in the throes of writing a story for Father’s birthday, but too many ideas swirl in her head, and she cannot get started. The Blue Willow pattern on the tea set catches Jane’s attention … will that be the inspiration she’s looking for?
This book commemorates the 250th birthday of Jane Austen — it celebrates her writing, which continues to engage readers around the world, and highlights the deep love between Jane and her sister Cassandra. The book introduces children to Jane Austen and her enduring legacy as an author, and perhaps could inspire them to become writers themselves.
