Three prayers by much-loved novelist Jane Austen, who intended them for use by her family at evening time.
These three prayers were written by novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817) for family use, and preserved for posterity by her elder sister Cassandra. The first is displayed in abridged form in the parish church in Steventon where her father George Austen and later her brother James were Rector; it focuses on self-knowledge, and on thankfulness for comforts and blessings received.
