    • All of Jane Austen's novels have always been successfully turned into films and mini-series. The BBC has recently started to re-produce almost all of them, only Emma is still missing. The recent BBC productions are regarded as being really close to the original novel: Pride and Prejudice (1995), starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. Sense and Sensibility (2008), starring Lucy Boynton and Hattie Morahan. Mansfield Park (2007), starring Billie Piper. Northhanger Abbey (2007), starring Felicity Jones. Persuasion (2007), starring Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones.
    • In July, 2002, a first edition of Pride and Prejudice was sold for £40,000 (about $75,000) at Lyon and Turnbull, in Edinburgh.
    • Jane's first book to be published was Sense and Sensibility (1811). However, throughout her life the author remained anonymous.
