In very good condition, here is an antique first edition copy of Personal Aspects of Jane Austen by Mary Augusta Austen-Leigh. Published in 1920 by John Murray, London. With a Zoffany portrait frontispiece plus seven further black and white illustrations.

Providing a detailed and intimate look at Jane Austen's life, focusing on her personal characteristics, family relationships, and the environment in which she lived and wrote. Mary Augusta Austen-Leigh, a descendant of Jane Austen, offers unique insights and anecdotes that help readers understand the beloved author's personality and the influences that shaped her work.

Inside the pages are clean, bright and tightly bound with no writing or markings of previous ownership. All black and white plates are present as called for.

A clean, tight and square book.
