I ‘m very pleased as well!!
As an American and very new admirer of Jane Austen (a little over three years), I was very surprised to learn how much of her writing resides here in the USA and at the Morgan LIbrary.
Sir Peter Michael must be very pleased with how his initial investment in 1988 just paid off!
Thanks Julie!
