Somewhat to my surprise I found that I could name all her novels without looking
You may find other surprises posted this week as Viridian gave us a free choice this week in Sunday-stamps-112.

A nice snapshot of the novels, disappointing they did not produce one for the flat rate international postage, again.
I find I can name all of her novels (having read them all at least once, and I can think of the scene in each novel that the stamp represents.
thank you for participating with some great stamps!
This is a lovely set. I think they are nicer than when the PO previously did Jane Austen in 1975.
I had a parcel to send this week so was able to use both high values, + one of the 77p stamps. I hope the recipient saves stamps.
Oh, wonderful stamps! I hope I'll receive some!
As Lisa says, they are much nicer than the last issue. And as for the famous women authors issue, they were dreadful.
I was looking forward to seeing this set.
It is odd, and a shame, that a flat rate international stamp wasn't included. it certainly would have been used more often and generated worldwide interest.
I was thinking that I didn't recognise this set and the realised that they have only just been issued. A very nice tribute to Jane Austen.
How lovely. Way to go Post Office.
I don't think I read any of her novels. If I did, I don't remember it. I probably should read at least one.
I love it when sets of stamps are truly interesting like these. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful stamps about wonderful novel! love it!
