Old East Enders tells East London's story from Roman Shadwell to the present day, focusing on the little-told story of the medieval and early modern Tower Hamlets. Jane Cox, the former Principal Assistant Keeper of Public Records, is an experienced author and lecturer, and her immensely readable and entertaining new book takes in recent archaeological research and a whole range of new record research. A wide range of fascinating and in some cases previously unpublished illustrations further enliven the text, which illuminates the history of this part of London as never before.

The biography of one of New Zealand's most successful artists. Superbly illustrated and brimming with the glorious colour for which Jane Evans is famous.
In any 17th century English society, a woman like the celebrated Elizabeth Bennet is easily noticed and quick to be admired for her witty tongue and sparkling personality. Yet there are as many of the same sex who have a soft-spoken, humble temper; always looking to please though never explicitly expressing how they feelmuch like Elizabeths sister, Jane Bennet. Ann Ashton is one of such character and disposition, who, on the brink of adulthood, has suddenly been brought into contact again with her childhood friend, Mr. Hampton, whom she had loved in her youth. But the circumstances of their previous parting has made Ann weary of the gentleman, and it will take time and great patience on Hamptons part if he wishes her to open her heart to him once more.
Diaries of Jane Summer is a 15-chapter book of Jane’s letters to her mother sharing her knowledge of nature, seasons, culture, customs, traditions, and the differences in new traditions, new customs, and the changes in seasons and nature that she noted over a period of time.
Jane Austen wrote the untitled fragment that was later called The Watsons in 1803-5, and it was published posthumously in 1871. Joan Aiken, well known for her Jane Austen sequels and children's books, finishes the fragment, introducing a new hero and seamlessly continuing where Jane Austen left off to a satisfying ending for all Austen fans. Emma Watson returns home after 14 years spent with a beloved aunt, whose re-marriage has caused a significant change in Emma's circumstances. Used to a life of ease, warmth and intelligence, Emma is thrust back into a home where, with one exception, her sisters are petty and jealous, if not vulgar, her father is ill and weak, and her brothers are not men of fine minds. This is a poignant exploration of a young lady's endurance in the face of reduced circumstances, and in true Jane Austen fashion, there is an admirable hero to make all right in the end.
You know Jane Austen as the beloved author of Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and other witty, insightful novels of the early nineteenth century.
