Christina Boyd interviews British Austenesque author and editor Jo Abbott.

Guest reviewer Sophia Rose says of Pocket Portrait's Jane Austen by Janet Lewis Saidi: utterly giftable and full of features that make it the worthiest of shelf-able editions. A bio of bite-size vignettes to be sampled like luscious literary bonbons.

Sophie Rose reviewed "Jane Austen's Favourite Brother, Henry" by Christopher Herbert: Herbert infused personal hypotheses where facts were few, but these were shrewd and conservative. Though not afraid to speculate, the author offered a nuanced characterization with more depth, and his biographical style fleshed out Henry Austen and demonstrated why Henry Austen was a favorite.
