The Beautifull Cassandra is a delightful story about a pleasure-loving girl who falls in love with a bonnet and braves the world. Jane Austen, on her way to becoming a great novelist, wrote it when she was only twelve, some 200 years ago. Scholar and artist Juliet McMaster now brings this important but little-known work to us as a picture book. With her fanciful illustrations, The Beautifull Cassandra is sure to win the hearts of children, as well as adult admirers of Jane Austen.
