He turns out to be not so bad, but his buddies are pretty awful: They drag the kids into a cave, where they decide to kill them. The nice convict gets shot and dies; his killer leaves the cave, telling the other convict to kill the kids.

More than years after her death, English novelist Jane Austen continues to be celebrated for her sharp, biting prose on love's various entanglements. The strong female characters in books like Pride and Prejudice and Emma are as resonant today as when Austen first pressed her pen to paper. Though her bibliography totals just six novels alongside some unfinished novels and other works in all, Austen's books and her insightful quotes have been subject to hundreds of years of analysis and—for the Austen die-hards—numerous re-readings.
For more on the writer's life, influences, and curious editing habits, take a look at our compendium of all things Austen below.
The Puzzle Lady Series by Parnell Hall
The second-youngest in a brood of eight kids, Austen developed a love for the written word partially as a result of George's vast home library. When she wasn't reading, Austen was supplied with writing tools by George to nurture her interests along. Later, George would send his daughters to a boarding school to further their education. When Austen penned First Impressions , the book that would become Pride and Prejudice , in , a proud George took it to a London publisher named Thomas Cadell for review.
Cadell rejected it unread. It's not clear if Jane was even aware that George approached Cadell on her behalf. Much later, in , her brother Henry would act as her literary agent, selling Sense and Sensibility to London publisher Thomas Egerton. From Sense and Sensibility through Emma , Austen's published works never bore her name.
If she was interrupted while writing, she would quickly conceal her papers to avoid being asked about her work. Austen was first identified in print following her death in ; her brother Henry wrote a eulogy to accompany the posthumous publications of Persuasion and Northanger Abbey. Many of Austen's characters carry great agency in their lives, and Austen scholars enjoy pointing to the fact that Austen herself bucked convention when it came to affairs of the heart.
