Teenage Wit and Writings

“Raised in England by adoptive parents, Alison Larkin was actually born in America. She herself is a comic writer and performer and she approaches Austen as a satirist…the voice reveals all.” The New Yorker Multi award-winning writer/narrator Alison Larkin brings the teenage writings of Jane Austen to sparkling new life in this delightful collection. Listeners will enjoy identifying where Jane Austen’s later comic creations came from as they listen to young Jane Austen gleefully lampooning the popular literature and culture of her time.

The girl of fifteen is laughing, in her corner, at the world.” Virginia Woolfe
