Happy Birthday, Jane! Jane Austen Day

December 16 has been declared as Jane Austen Day by the Jane Austen Centre to mark the birthday of celebrated English author Jane Austen.

The seventh child and second daughter of Cassandra and George Austen, Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775, in Steventon, Hampshire, England. Jane's parents were well-respected community members. Her father served as the Oxford-educated rector for a nearby Anglican parish. The family was close and the children grew up in an environment that stressed learning and creative thinking. When Jane was young, she and her siblings were encouraged to read from their father's extensive library. The children also authored and put on plays and charades. people/jane-austen
