Description: Crediton, UK: Uppercross Press, (2020). (2020). Crediton, UK: Uppercross Press, (2020). (2020). Fine. - Octavo, 9-1/4 inches high by 6-1/8 inches wide. Hardcover, bound in pictorial gray boards titled in blue on the spine. ix ,[1] & 165 pages, with 16 pages of color illustrations on glossy paper inserted. As new, Fine. First edition. "Jane Austen's letters provide clear-sighted glimpses of her six Knight nephews as they grew up, but hers was not the only pen to record their privileged upbringing. Cassandra and Henry Austen commented on Edward Austen Knight's indulgence of his sons and worried about the boys' ability to cope with future adversity in the wider world; their affectionate sister Fanny noted key moments in their lives â birthdays, holidays, marriages; Charles kept a detailed diary throughout the 1830s and 40s. The Other Knight Boys explores the character of each nephew in turn, their professional and personal circumstances, their close fraternal bonds as well as the difficulties and disappointments they encountered in adulthood. For five of the brothers, future dispossession of their beloved family home at Godmersham as a consequence of birth order was a reality they had to live with. How it affected the choices they made forms the story that the book attempts to tell." - Hazel Jones statement regarding the book during an interview published by the "janeausteninvermont" blog in 2020.
