Summary:
"This volume includes two novels, The Watsons, begun by Jane Austen in 1803 and abandoned after her father's death in 1805, and Sanditon, begun in 1817 and left unfinished at her death. Each displays Austen's mastery of character and motivation and will appeal to her many fans. In the first story Emma Watson returns to her home after living with an aunt to find her sisters scheming to marry the two most wealthy men available. She soon finds herself the center of male attention. Saniton is a seaside English village on the Sussex coast being developed for tourists. Miss Charlotte Heywood is invited there by the Parkers, who are involved in the development scheme. Once there she finds many curious characters and at least the promise of romance."--Back cover.
