    Persuasion and Poems

    Written by Jane Austen and Alison Larkin

    Narrated by Alison Larkin

    About this audiobook

    To celebrate 200 years since Jane Austen completed her last novel, Alison Larkin—a witty and always original voice—brings Persuasion and a delightful selection of lesser-known poems by Jane Austen to a new audience.
    Persuasion
    Seven years after Anne Elliot rejects the man she loves after a family friend persuades her that he isn’t a good enough match for her, Captain Frederick Wentworth returns to England looking for a wife.
    Poems
    Austen did not take herself seriously as a poet but she did write occasional, mostly comic verses to entertain family and friends. Selected and introduced by Alison Larkin, the poems range from lines found on a piece of paper inside a tiny bag Austen gave to her niece—to “When Winchester Races”—a poem she wrote just three days before she died.

    Jane Austen

    Jane Austen was born in 1775 in rural Hampshire, the daughter of an affluent village rector who encouraged her in her artistic pursuits. In novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma she developed her subtle analysis of contemporary life through depictions of the middle-classes in small towns. Her sharp wit and incisive portraits of ordinary people have given her novels enduring popularity. She died in 1817.
