Jane Austen and the Penguin
£50.00
In 1801, on leaving Steventon, Hampshire, Jane Austen arrived in Bath somewhat distressed by an increasing sense of displacement. Her continuing anguish marked a struggle to write with the wit and ease experienced before at her family home.
A short note has latterly been found between the pages of a book, possibly being read by Miss Austen at the time:
“Good gracious! A penguin has appeared at my table. Will you help or hinder my pen, Sir, I wonder.”
The illustration depicts that astonishing first meeting between Jane Austen and the penguin.
