Ordinary, Extraordinary Jane Austen: The Story of Six Novels, Three Notebooks, a Writing Box, and One Clever Girlby Deborah Hopkinson, illustrated by Qin Leng, is a beautifully illustrated hardcover picture book introducing young readers to the remarkable girl who grew up to become one of literature's most beloved authors.
Before Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice or Emma, she was a quiet, observant girl who loved books. She listened to conversations, noticed the peculiar things people said and did, and began filling notebooks with stories of her own. While other writers followed fashionable adventures and romances, Jane discovered that everyday people could make wonderfully interesting characters.
What I especially love about this book is the reminder that Jane Austen's extraordinary writing began with something wonderfully ordinary: paying attention. That's a lesson I love sharing with young learners. Qin Leng's illustrations bring Jane's world to life, making this a delightful introduction to an author whose stories continue to inspire curiosity.

FAQs
WHAT IS A GICLEÉ PRINT?
Giclee printing is currently the highest quality standard for printing single or limited edition prints. The term "giclee"(pronounced "ZHEE-CLAY")is a French word meaning "to spray." Giclee prints are created by spraying millions of droplets of ink onto archival fine-art substrates. The word "giclee," as a fine-art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant archival pigmented inks printed on archival substrates by professional inkjet printers. Giclee prints represent the highest evolution in printmaking technology. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy and richer depth of color than other means of art reproduction possible.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT ABOUT THE PRINT QUALITY?
A great gicleé print begins with a great image. We proudly use a privately owned giclee printing company founded in 2003 that services the fine art and photography markets. They have gained international recognition with featured articles about their services in Digital Ouput Magazine, Digital Photo Pro Magazine and on the Oprah show. Osio-Brown Editions is one of the original giclee printing studios in the Chicago area and is a preeminent force in the fine art giclee printing industry. Their client list extends throughout the United States, Central & South America and Europe.
