A signed first edition of the novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by the late Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez has been stolen. It was being exhibited in a locked cabinet at the International Book Fair in the Colombian capital, Bogota.

The fair, which closes on Monday, is dedicated to Garcia Marquez, who died last year at the age of 87. The book is estimated to be worth $60,000 (£40,000) but its owner says for him its value is immeasurable.

Pages of an unfinished Jane Austen novel, bought for £1m, will go on display at her Hampshire home later.

One of 11 booklets from The Watsons manuscript is going on show as part of an exhibition at Jane Austen's House Museum in Chawton.

The rare manuscript was bought in 2011 by Oxford's Bodleian Libraries.

Apart from two chapters of "Persuasion," none of the six published Austen novels survives in manuscript form.
