Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on May 31, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Jane Green! May your day be as delightful and charmingly chaotic as the lives of your beloved characters. From transforming ugly ducklings into graceful swans in "Jemima J," to leaving us utterly "Spellbound" with every witty twist—your stories have brightened countless rainy afternoons and inspired endless laughter-filled book club debates.

Here's wishing you another year filled with literary triumphs, cozy writing nooks, and plenty of tea-fueled inspiration. Thanks for pioneering a genre that celebrates friendship, humor, love—and reminding us all that life's imperfections are best enjoyed alongside good friends (and perhaps a glass or two!). Cheers!
