Welcome!

You’ve reached the companion websites for the Austen Trilogy, telling the true lives of Jane Austen and her family, written by Diane Jane Ball.

Within these pages, you will find a wealth of information about the lives of the Austen family, along with a fascinating insight into daily life in Georgian England during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The entire site is free to explore — no personal details or payment are ever required.

Think of it as a colourful guide to my novels, offering the real history, places, and people behind the stories.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

Warmest wishes,

Diane.
