Description
About this set
This display model is a tribute to Jane Austen, made to celebrate International Women’s Day. A Jane Austen minifigure stands in a cozy room of her home. There’s a quill on her writing table, sheet music on the piano, a bookshelf, flowers and a fireplace. Paintings on the walls show scenes from film versions of her novels. Turn it around and the back looks like a book.
Austen readers and anyone who loves a literary display piece will enjoy this one, and the nameplate on the sturdy base makes it ready for the shelf. It’s retiring, so sealed copies are going to get scarcer from here.
