But not everyone knows that Jane Austen also had a sister, Cassandra, and the sisters spent their early years in the boarding house of Mrs. La Tournel, and she had a wooden leg of mysterious origin and an inexhaustible passion for the theater. That's the whole point. Without a doubt, this wooden leg of Mrs. La Tournelle played a decisive role in the future work of the world-famous writer Jane Austen. Especially significant influence belongs to the numerous versions of her (foot) origin.
