Jane Austen

Jane Austen was a novelist from 19th century England.

She assisted the First Doctor, Steven Taylor, and Vicki Pallister in defeating a Phoenix in 1814 London. The Doctor was quite happy to meet Austen, declaring his admiration for all her novels. Austen was surprised by this, having at that point in her life only written two novels which had been published anonymously. (CC: Frostfire)
