Book cover of Jane and the Blue Willow Princess by Catherine Little and illustrated by Sae Kimua shows a girl with a feather quill on a background of a Blue Willow plate design.
Happy book birthday to @catherinelittle.bsky.social and Sae Kimura for their new #picturebook imagining #JaneAusten as a storytelling child. From Plumleaf Press. canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2025/06/jane...

Two smiling women. One is holding up a book titled Jane Austen and the Blue Willow Princess. The book cover portrays a young Jane Austen surrounded by a lovely blue pastoral scene.
My lovely neighbour, kid lit author @catherinelittle.bsky.social, has a GORGEOUS new pic book out tomorrow! Jane and the Blue Willow Princess (from Plumleaf Press, illustrated by Sae Kimura) is about the young Jane Austen and the tea set that inspired a story! #kidlit #janeaustenfans

Honouring Bravery is a Canada Company Military History Learning Program. Their aim is to bring engaging content about Canada’s military history to classrooms across the country. My guest blog post explaining how I came to write ENDGAME: The Secret Force 136 was just posted.

Photo shows the cover for Jane and the Blue Willow Princess amongst a display of blue willow pottery.
Do you love Jane Austen and/or the Blue Willow pattern?
Jane and the Blue Willow Princess, my latest PB was inspired when I learned about the discovery of a shard of BW at Steventon, JA’s childhood home.
Preorders Open!
Guess which piece is circa 1810!

The Tollkeeper’s Cottage is an interesting place. If you can make it, try to get there in time for a short tour! Also, Wychwood Park is a great place for a walk. Hope to see you there.

The stars really aligned for this one!
ANNE OF THE LIBRARY ON THE HILL came out in 2024 and JANE AND THE BLUE WILLOW PRINCESS comes out this May.
What are the chances this is the Season Stratford has a play inspired by LMM and JA?

A collage on a table showing a cup of coffee, information about the Stratford August 22 Forum and books about and inspired by Lucy Maud Montgomery and Jane Austen.
Rereading these while waiting for my son to finish his exam. So grateful to get the invitation to be part of the August 22 Forum Discussion!

Image shows the covers for the two books on a blue background. The title says “Celebrating Jane Austen 250”
JANE AND THE BLUE WILLOW PRINCESS was inspired by the discovery of a shard of Blue Willow pottery at Jane Austen’s childhood home. It celebrates the close relationship Jane had with her sister Cassandra and would make a great gift for any present or future Janeite!
