The Bank of England will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Jane Austens death this year, by making her the face of a new ten pound note. New editions of her writings and new books about her life and work are scheduled for release throughout 2017.
In Sydney, Folly is not always Folly, the first volume of Jane & DArcy, will be launched by the former State Governor, Marie Bashir, in April, at Parliament House. The second volume, Such Talent & Such Success, will be launched in July.
Folly is not always Folly, is a history of Jane Austen and DArcy Wentworth, their early years and family connections, their first meeting, their romance and adventures, and their separation on the eve of DArcys departure for New South Wales. In the aftermath, it follows DArcy, from London to Sydney and Norfolk Island, and Jane from a rectory in Hampshire to Bath.
Their history inspired Jane Austens writing, and is the key to understanding her stories that has remained hidden for over two hundred years. Folly is not always Folly will delight readers, offering an entirely new perspective on her life and work. It reveals Jane Austens connection to our colonial history, her enduring love for DArcy Wentworth, whose son, William Charles, was Australias Founding Father.
Wal Walker, the author of Jane & DArcy, is a grandson of DArcy Wentworths great grandson. He has written his familys untold story of DArcy and Jane Austen.
