Jane Austen and I being pensive.
Two writers on the steps of the Jane Austen Centre in Bath!
After a long lockdown of no blogs, a little trip to Bath was just what I needed to spark up some inspiration in my quill!
Someone else who got lots of inspiration from her time at Bath was Jane Austen. While she only actually lived here for a short time, Bath are so happy she did that they even have a Centre for her.
Whether you are a Jane Austen fan or not, you can’t deny that her books have lasted the test of time, with more films set to come out soon!
I especially liked Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but that is not one for our little ones!
More to books…
Fear not though, I bring you the Jane Austen children’s books because there really is #moretobooks than Reading when you have 21 activities to enjoy:
Or learn about her life:
Asking in the souvenir and gift shop of the centre, the helpful lady said that they had sold out of childrens but she recommended Little People Big Dreams, I have heard of these! But what I didn’t know, was they have board books for even younger children! Cute! She also directed me to an amazing book shop just around the corner!
Awesomely Austen, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, retold by Katherine Woodfine and illustrated by Églantine Ceulemans (photo credit by Amazon.co.uk)
And if your children get excited by reading about the author, they can even read child friendly versions thanks to Katherine Woodfine and Katy Birchall.
Why not have a dress up day, make a fan and practice dances from the Regency era?
