Jane Austen Stamps Go on Sale… In the UK

To celebrate the bicentenary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice, Royal Mail has issued a stamp for each of Austen’s six books. This is not the first set of Jane Austen stamps issued by Royal Mail but I think the new ones are much better-looking. Royal Mail said that letters posted in Chawton in Hampshire, where Austen spent her last years, and Steventon, near Basingstoke, where she was born, will have a special postmark for a week, featuring the Pride and Prejudice quote "Do anything rather than marry without affection".
