Jane Austen's novels are filled with wide-ranging commentary from all parts of life. Her sharp-witted and intelligent characters have provided us with memorable quotes time and time again.

Finally Austen's sense and sensibility has been compiled in one compact book. In Bite-Size Jane Austen we get her thoughts and words on society, men and women, the arts and writing, business and politics, England, family matters and on the human condition.

Bite-Size Jane Austen is the fifth book in the highly successful series. Arranged into eight wide-ranging chapters and many sub-chapters, finding the perfect quote for the perfect situation is simple.

"One half the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other."

On writing novels:

"An artist cannot do anything slovenly."
