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- these early works into three bound notebooks, now referred to as the -Juvenilia, - containing pieces originally written between 1787 and 1793. The 2nd volume of juvenilia includes: * Love and Freindship * Lesley Castle * The History of England * A Collection of Letters * Scraps (The Female Philosopher, The First Act of a Comedy, A Letter from a Young Lady, A Tour through Wales, A Tale)
