    Default Sense and Sensitive

    Do you know book "Sense and Sensitive" (wrote Jane Austen)? Is it a well known book in English speaking countries? I live in CZ and I must admit I dont know it at all. If you know it, what is it about?

    So for those who come from UK it is well known book? I mean very well known? Like every child (or man) knows it?

    Do you know these books? Do you know they exist at all? What are they about?:

    The House by the Sea – Patricia Aspinal
    The Fruitcake special and other sories – Frank Brennan
    The Fall of the House of Usher and other stories – Edgar Allan Poe

    Re:

    It is perhaps one of the first horror stories in literature. Read also The Telltale Heart and Murders in the Rue Morgue. Poe was a master of the genre.
