Jane & Me: My Austen Heritage - Caroline Jane Knight
Caroline Jane Knight (business owner, philanthropist and author) shares more than Jane Austen's name and DNA. As a direct descendant of Jane's brother, Edward Knight, Caroline is the last of the Austen Knight family to grow up at Chawton House on the estate where Jane Austen lived and enjoyed the most productive period of her writing career. Caroline explored the same places around Chawton House and its grounds as Jane did, dined at the same table in the same dining room, read in the same library and shared the same dream of independence. This is the extraordinary story of her childhood in Chawton and the formation of the Jane Austen Literacy Foundation, founded by Caroline in 2014.
Available as an e-book, paperback, hardcover and audiobook.
