At her death in 1817, Jane Austen left the world six of the most beloved novels written in English--but her shortsighted family destroyed the bulk of her letters; and if she kept any diaries, they did not survive her. Now acclaimed biographer Claire Tomalin, author of A Life of My Own, has filled the gaps in the record, creating a remarkably fresh and convincing portrait of the woman and the writer.
While most Austen biographers have accepted the assertion of Jane's brother Henry that "My dear Sister's life was not a life of events," Tomalin shows that, on the contrary, Austen's brief life was fraught with upheaval. Tomalin provides detailed and absorbing accounts of Austen's ill-fated love for a young Irishman, her frequent travels and extended visits to London, her close friendship with a worldly cousin whose French husband met his death on the guillotine, her brothers' naval service in the Napoleonic wars and in the colonies, and thus shatters the myth of Jane Austen as a sheltered and homebound spinster whose knowledge of the world was limited to the view from a Hampshire village.Binding Type: Paperback

Nice shorts, fabrics thin but a great fit.
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Light Green, Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Light Green
These are nice shorts, free flowing thin but not too thin. Feel nice wearing, easy to move around in them.
I like the zipper pockets, things don’t fall out of my pockets now when driving or hiking.
These are great wearing while walking, hiking or jogging, really durable. Material is thinner than I’m use to but still nice.
These have nice elastic waistband plus a tie, I like this.
These are great wearing while playing basketball, has nice are flow and lets skin breath.

Great, comfortable athletic wear. As comfortable as boxers.
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Olive
These are my new favorite shorts. The fabric is durable, but light and breathable. The waistband is comfortable, and the drawstrings are good quality. I like the zippers on the pockets, which are also good quality, and are easy to grasp thanks to a rubber coating. There's also no static cling with these shorts, like what I get from the polyester shorts from wallyworld. If I had to nitpick, it would be concerning the design/fit of the front of the shorts. There's no pleat, or crotch, and this creates a slight "poochy" look, this also makes them more roomy, and easy to move around in though as well. I liked them enough to buy 4 more pair, and that's all you need to know. They wash well, and don't shrink.

Must have! Buy in every color
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Green Camo
Great shorts for the price. The quality comfort and size are all great! We were surprised with how well made these are for the cost and my husband ended up getting multiple pair in different colors. We have only had them for a week or so now so I’m not sure how durable they are long term but from the feel, they seem as they will last. Zipper pockets are the best part as he is active and also likes having zipped pockets when traveling, coaching, etc.

Super baggy

Light weight and nice thin material. These things are super baggy and make you look funny. I wouldn’t wear them in public.
