JUVENILIA

When a young girl, Jane Austen’s father gave her three notebooks, each with a cover of vellum, leather for binding books. Jane made a fair copy—a neat handwritten copy—of over 25 stories into these notebooks Volume the First, Volume the Second, and Volume the Third. These are her Juvenilia—stories, poems, and scraps written while growing up.
