This detailed and engaging account of Austen's life and work is arranged as a series of walking tours through the towns and countryside she knew and loved—the settings for her novels. This book introduces the people she met on her journeys and explores the country houses, churches, great estates, and elegant cities she knew, which have changed surprisingly little in the course of two centuries.

Austen Book Best Ever,
This review is from: In the Steps of Jane Austen: Walking Tours of Austen's England (Paperback)
This survey of the places where Jane Austen lived and visited and worked is by far the best of the various ones similar. There have been attempts to guide visitors to the various sites before, but none as good or successful or carefully researched as this one. I have bought several copies as gifts for others whom I know would enjoy this travelogue. It is most highly recommended.

This review is from: In the Steps of Jane Austen: Walking Tours of Austen's England (Paperback)
The pictures are not enough. Especially those about the houses which Jane and her family lived in. The words are quite boring. It is more suitable to be categorized as a tour guide rather than a book introducing Jane Austen's England.
