The writer lived in Bath from 1801 to 1806, and the city is the setting for her two novels: "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasions." The Jane Austen Centre offers a permanent exhibition telling the story of Bath's most famous resident. Actors in period costume give an introductory lecture; you can sample period food, dress in Regency era costume and have your picture taken with a wax figure of Jane Austen.
