“Expect a most agreeable letter, for not being overburdened by subject–having nothing at all to say–there shall be no check to my genius from beginning to end.” Jane Austen’s bustling life rarely left her without news to share, but even in those spare moments with nothing to pen, her incandescent wit manages to shine throughout her letters. Collected from her extensive collection of personal correspondence, this box contains 100 postcards featuring 25 of her most beloved witticisms (reproduced 4 times). Housed in a beautifully designed keepsake box, this set of postcards makes a thoughtful gift for any Austen lover.

The perfect gift for wizarding book-worms. Never lose your place in the story with this silver-plated Chibi bookmark, featuring Harry Potter in flight on his broomstick.
