Dear %PERS_1%

The world of Jane Austen on your desktop every month.

Happy New Year from all of us at the Jane Austen Centre.

With the new year we’ve embarked on a new way to distribute this e-newlsetter. Fingers crossed it has worked for you and you are reading this and can see all the pictures. It will be more work for us but we should be able to provide you with a better service. Time will tell.

We’re all looking forward to the new season of ‘Jane Austen’ films. As soon as I know when the ITV season will be shown in different territories I will let you know.
Hi, I'm Jackie
