Behind the scenes

 * Harry Potter book series author J. K. Rowling has stated that Jane Austen is her "favourite writer of all time." She also briefly contemplated Austen when asked whom she would choose to be if she could pick anyone in history, but reasoned that Austen probably did not live a very happy life.
