Frommers.com adds Chawton Library to listing
Frommers, the famous travel guide company, has added an online update to Frommer’s Great Britain that includes Chawton House Library, located in the former Great House at Chawton, which is still owned by the descendants of Jane Austen’s brother, Edward Austen Knight.
However, we are astonished that Frommers does not mention that the Library is not open to the general public, but only by application and appointment. We are picturing hordes of travelers in Bermuda shorts with cameras slung around their necks, clamoring at the door, seeking entry to the Jane Austen Library!
