The Who Was series of books are biographies written for children. But, actually they are just as informative for adults as they are for children. I have never read any of Jane Austen's novels but this book about her life makes me want to put them high on my reading list. It was hard for a young woman in the late 1700s to get an education let alone any kind of career. Someone bought the rights to her first novel but never published it. Her first novel was not published until after her death. Jane did go on to get her books published and Emma became one of her most famous novels.

Who Was Jane Austen? by Sarah Fabiny
