Effusions of Fancy consisting of annotated sketches from the life of Jane Austen in a style entirely new

“The care and love Odiwe has lavished on these jewel-like water colours
is highly evident and succeeds in shedding new light on their subjects.” Diana Birchall, JASNA news

“...a work of art with beautiful layout and pictures...
an excellent present for the Jane Austen collector.” Sharron Bassett – Jane Austen Society, Scottish branch

Effusions of Fancy is a new Jane Austen book with a difference. It is a light hearted portrayal of a youthful Jane Austen as seen through the eyes of her sister Cassandra. Watercolour sketches and paintings depicting events and scenes from the novelist's life are annotated with facts and accompanied by illustrated letters.

The letters are based on Jane's correspondence with her sister and are presented as Cassandra's long lost letters. The paintings are inspired by Cassandra's sketches, contemporary works and historical costume. Illustrations include, Jane Austen's birth, childhood scenes, a family wedding, the Austen family, a new portrait inspired by Cassandra's sketch, love and dancing with Tom Lefroy, balls, shopping, social gatherings in Bath and Jane with her mysterious Sidmouth beau.
Produced as a high quality paperback consisting of 36 beautifully illustrated pages it would make an ideal keepsake or gift for anyone interested in Jane Austen or the Georgian era. The book is ribbon bound in blue and silver with a decorated swing tag and cellophane wrapped.
