Austen Effusions by Jane Odiwe

I have recently received a copy of the book of annotated sketches called 'Effusions of Fancy' by Jane Odiwe. The book contains some absolutely beautiful sketches, portraying the passionate young Jane Austen. The drawings are so detailed and vibrant in colour and exactly how I am imagine Jane Austens world. I am truly inspired by this work and I wanted to inform readers through this post.

Jane Odiwe has a website where you can view all of her work at http://www.austeneffusions.com/. I think that all Jane Austen lovers should have a copy of these magical sketches.

Thank you Jane.
