Written for the amusement of her family, Austen dedicated this short twelve-chapter novel to her older sister Cassandra. Each chapter consists of a sentence or two. Weighing in at 465 occasionally misspelled words, it is a complete and perfect novel-in-miniature, which already anticipates Austen's stylistic mastery.
