Austen was put on the new plastic tenner to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Austen’s death. So about as much a greatest living author as Leadsom is a greatest living anything.

We are currently moving all our Jane Austen stock from Classics into Greatest Living Authors. Thanks Andrea Leadsom for the heads up.
