Jane Austen, one of the nation’s most beloved authors, whose face adorns our currency, surely needs no introduction, but while many are familiar with her groundbreaking novels, few have come across the brilliantly funny short tales she wrote when young. Showcasing one of the final works in Austen’s teenage years, and one of the only tales in which the narrative focuses on a man, ‘Evelyn’ is a short but powerful work in which we see the great writers’ skills transforming into the great literary prowess associated with her name.
