Evokes the charm of a Jane Austen novel with lively prose…Wilson
relies on Austen’s letters, family memoirs, travel guides, and
other publications of the era to create an enchanting biographical
sketch…Austen enthusiasts and any reader interested in late 18th–
and early 19th–century English society will relish this title.” —

Whether you are a newcomer, or a longtime Austen devotee, this
book cannot fail to encourage your own further exploration of her
life, times, and work.” — Mary Guyatt, curator of Jane Austen’s
House Museum

This charming volume will no doubt find an appreciative audience.
Wilson (Tea with Jane Austen) once again leads the reader through a
specific aspect of Austen's life—in this case, the physical spaces
which she lived in or visited…Quotes from Austen's letters convey
the day–to–day experience of living in these places, and examples
from her work demonstrate how often these experiences found their
way into the novels… even casual fans should enjoy following in the
beloved author's footsteps. — Publishers Weekly
As an ardent admirer of the impeccable research and informative
prose found in Kim Wilson’s previous works—Tea with Jane Austen and
In the Garden with Jane Austen—I was beyond excited to see she has
yet again published another comprehensive and artfully arranged
tome about Jane Austen’s life and time…A thoughtful, engaging, and
superbly executed compilation! A must read for any Janeite who
wants to share a visit with Jane Austen at home. I sincerely hope
we will see more books of this nature from the talented pen of Kim
Wilson…Brava, Ms. Wilson! This one is another gem! — Austenesque
