Jane Austen began to write poetry, short stories and play for her own entertainment and the entertainment of her family. Austen later collected "exact copies" of these early works into three notebooks, which are now called "Juvenilia" and contain works originally written between 1787 and 1793. The 2st volume of "Juvenilia" includes:<br/>- The History of England<br/>- Lesley Castle<br/>- A Collection of Letters<br/>- Love and Friendship and others
