Picturing Jane Austen's story

I'm in the middle of creating a series of brief pictorial narratives about English novelist Jane Austen. Whether identifying as Janeites or Austenites, fans of her 19th century novels everywhere are celebrating her 250th birthday this year. I squeezed in time last autumn while zipping around England visiting family and friends to follow the main threads of Jane's life. The series is listed on another page under STORIES.

P&G Wells, on College Street in Winchester, is said to be Britain's oldest bookshop.

You never know what you'll find when following a theme. For instance, P&G Wells —Britain's oldest bookshop — has been in business for nearly 300 years, and sits just 2 doors from the house in which Jane Austen died.
