Jane Austen herself was born on December 16, 1775. What’s your favorite Austen novel?
Also born on December 16th: Noel Coward (1896, playwright), Arthur C. Clarke (1917, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey), and Marie Hall Ets (1895, author of many children’s picture books including Gilberto and the Wind and Nine Days to Christmas).
Today is also Beethoven’s Birthday (1770). Will you be celebrating the birth of Schroeder’s favorite composer, and if so, how? I think I’ll play some of Beethoven’s more famous compositions and play guess the composer with the urchins.

Hmm, hard to say which is my favorite Jane Austen novel. I think probably Sense and Sensibility.
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite, followed closely by Persuasion. Sense and Sensibility is third.
