Many happy returns of the day to our beloved Jane Austen, born on this day in 1775.

As we celebrate 250 years since her birth, we find ourselves eternally grateful for the wonderful novels that continue to bring such happiness to so many.

🎉Happy Birthday, Jane Austen!🎉

It's notable that 'Brideshead Revisited' (1945) and 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' (1950) were both published and were popular during the austerity years of rationing after the Second World War, and both feature transitions into seemingly unobtainable worlds where sumptuous meals are served.

This Jacobean travelling library was commissioned for a gentleman to carry his own collection of miniature vellum-bound books inside a wooden case ~ contents are listed on the inside cover (1617). Possibly, the first of its kind (University of Leeds) https://t.co/Os5GdEBKMi

Ray Harryhausen animated 7 skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts (1963), moving 35 appendages per frame to match the actors. Some days he managed just 13 or 14 frames. It took 4 & a half months to create this 3 mins scene.

The opening of an Anglo-Saxon calendar for November, with the first day of winter marked in Old English on November 7th: 'wintres angin', winter's beginning.

'And then the wide-umbraged elm begins to fail;
Her mourning multitudes of leaves go pale
Seeing afar the icy shears
Of Winter, and his blue-tipped spears
Marching unconquerable upon the sun
of bright All-Hallows.'

In many early medieval calendars, 7 November is the first day of winter. One Anglo-Saxon poem calls today 'Winter's Day': like an invading warrior, it 'seizes sun-bright autumn with its army of ice and snow' and holds the earth captive until spring returns https://t.co/CQnx2mL8QF
