The Younger Sister (1850) Volumes I, II & III
Jane Austen began writing "The Watsons" in about 1803 and is believed to have abandoned it after her father's death in 1805. It has five chapters, and is less than 18,000 words long, but it was later finished by Austen's niece, Catherine Hubback and published under the title "The Younger Sister" in the mid-19th century.
The plot revolves around Mr Watson, a widowed clergyman with two sons and four daughters. Young Emma has been brought up by a wealthy aunt but when her aunt contracts a foolish second marriage, Emma is obliged to return to her father's house. The Osbornes are a great titled family living near the Watsons.

About the Authors

Jane Austen (1775 – 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels including Pride and Prejudice. Her plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security.
With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published writer. Her biting irony, realism and social commentary have earned her great and historical importance.

Catherine Anne Hubback (7 July 1818 – 25 February 1877) was an English novelist, eighth child of Sir Francis Austen and niece of Jane Austen. She wrote to support herself and her three sons. She had copies of some of her aunt's unfinished works and, in 1850, remembering Austen's proposed plot, she wrote The Younger Sister, a completion of Jane Austen's The Watsons. She finished nine more novels and emigrated to California and later Gainesville, Prince William Co, VA.
