JANE AUSTEN (1775-1817) - Daughter, sister, friend, author, genius! I love all of her work but my favorites are 'Northanger Abbey', 'Persuasion' and 'Sense and Sensibility'. I love 'Lady Susan' so much too and hope one day a movie is made of it. 


Agatha Christie (1890-1976) 

AGATHA CHRISTIE (1890-1976) - My second favorite author! Amazing queen of mystery! I love her Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot novels, but also 'Crooked House' and 'And Then There Were None'.



Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865)
