Celebrate Jane Austen's 250th birthday with this delightful book.

Join these loveable animals as they play musical instruments in the perfect first alphabet book. Jane Austen, the world famous author, spent most of her life in Hampshire. Its houses, countryside and people inspired her writing. The book design draws on the repeating pattern of oak leaves from a Pelisse Coat in the care of Hampshire Cultural Trust which is thought to have belonged to Jane Austen.

Ailie Busby studied graphic design, and then specialised in illustration at Cambridge School of Art. Ailie uses a mixed media approach to her work including a combination of acrylic paint, and pencils mixed with collage and photoshop. Many things influence her work: nature and animals are a constant inspiration, plus 1950s and 60s children's books, patterns and colour.
