Publisher's Synopsis
Perhaps as early as 1787, Austen began to write poems, stories, and plays for her own and her family's amusement. Austen later compiled -fair copies- of these early works into three bound notebooks, now referred to as the -Juvenilia, - containing pieces originally written between 1787 and 1793. . The 1st volume of juvenilia includes: * Frederic & Elfrida * Jack & Alice * Edgar & Emma * Henry and Eliza * The Adventures of Mr. Harley * Sir William Mountague * Memoirs of Mr. Clifford * The Beautifull Cassandra * Amelia Webster * The Visit * The Mystery * The Three Sisters * Detached Pieces (A Fragment, A beautiful description, The generous Curate, Ode to Pity)
