Read Them or Cry: Jane Austen Trivia

Have (literary) writers Abby and Shefali go head-to-head in a /"Jane Austen off/" trying to answer as many Jane Austin trivia questions as possible. They are rewarded for any correct answer with delicious chocolate, but if they get it wrong, it comes with a crude (and unappetizing) punishment that will make you cringe. Our Jane Austen test includes questions such as: How many times was Jane Austen engaged? ; where was Jane Austen born?; who was Jane Austen's favorite heroine?; what was the original title of “Northanger Abbey”? ; how much in today's dollars did Jane Austen receive for the copyright to "Pride and Prejudice"? and which of her novels did Jane Austen call her "darling child"?

Some of these questions are posed by Julia Sonneborn, author of Simon and Schuster, whose “By the Book” is a modern take on Jane Austen’s “Persuasion.” This is a book that any true Janeite would love and cherish: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/By-the-Book/Julia-Sonneborn/9781501175183
