BBC Warner, 2004
Mary's Review
+ Very Nice
This is a fabulous collection! I have watched the recent BBC series and loved them, but this original collection out does them. I recommend them to any woman who loved reading Jane Austen.

So Odd a Mixture: Along the Autistic Spectrum in 'Pride and Prejudice' Phyllis Ferguson Bottomer
Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2007
Autism was not a recognised disorder in Jane Austen's lifetime, nor for well over a century after her death. But there were certainly people who had autism, and Phyllis Ferguson Bottomer proposes that Austen wrote about them, without knowing what it was that she was describing. "So Odd a Mixture" looks at eight seemingly diverse characters in Austen's classic novel, "Pride and Prejudice", who ...

The Last Man in the World: A Pride & Prejudice Variation 27 reviews Abigail Reynolds

a classic twist
This variation offers a classic twist. It is a theme encompassed in older novels, of a wife unwillingly married falling in love with her own husband. The misunderstandings of Darcy and Elizabeth are drawn forth after their wedding, and once Elizabeth realizes how wrong she was, an awful twist of ...

Vanity and Vexation: A Novel of Pride and Prejudice 13 reviews Kate Fenton
St. Martin's Griffin, 2005
PLEEZE LET ME RAG ON YOUR "REVIEWERS"
+ Fun, sweet novel + One of the Most Fun, Clever, and Romantic Updates of P&P
THE POMPOUS HOLIER THAN THOU DRIBBLE OF SOME "CRITICAL" SUBMISSIONS IS MORE THAN I (I REPEAT, I) CAN BEAR IN SILENCE. THESE REVIEWERS COULD LEARN FROM MY PREVIOUS SENTENCE. IT IS NOT, DUCKY, ALWAYS ABOUT _YOU_. IF YOU DON'T LIKE "LIGHT AND FLUFFY" WHY DID YOU SELECT TO READ LIGHT AND FLUFFY -- ...

Without Reserve: A Pride & Prejudice Variation 28 reviews Abigail Reynolds
Intertidal Press, 2007
Ms. Reynolds is a master storyteller...
+ Very good
I've read and own all of this author's work and highly recommend them. I've followed Mr. Reynold's career when she wrote and posted on her own site, Austen Interlude. To me, she brought Darcy and Elizabeth to life, much like Margaret Mitchel did Rhett and Scarlett. I love the passionate nature she ...

Letters from Pemberley, the First Year: A Continuation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice 103 reviews Jane Dawkins
Chicken Soup Press, 1999
Fabulous - Terrific - Must Read for Austen Fans
I believe there are a multitude of devoted fans who have read Jane Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, loved it, and wanted to see it continue. With this book, LETTERS FROM PEMBERLEY, author Jane Dawkins does an admirable job of what could be. She is not necessarily trying to write a sequel in Ms. ...

A Rambling Fancy: In the Footsteps of Jane Austen (Cadogan Guide) 2 reviews Caroline Sanderson
Cadogan Guides, 2006
One Woman's Footsteps
+ A Rambling Fancy In the Footsteps of Jane Austen
I read this while in England. It is just one woman's opinion and reactions to various places that Jane Austen knew or wrote about. The author revisits these places herself and writes about how they are now. To me, the best part was what she wrote about the bedrooms in Chawton (Jane Austen's home) - ...

A Refreshing Change
+ P & P Adapted + Enjoyable Read
Kara Louise's novel is a refreshing change of scenery from the multitude of Pride and Prejudice variations that populate the bookshelves. Louise manages to explore an alternative scenario, without depriving the story of any of its charm. Be forewarned, the story is different, although it retains ...

Pemberley Shades (Pemberly Shades) 7 reviews Dorothy Bonavia-Hunt
Laughing Man Publications, 2007
Darcy and Elizabeth-- in search of a new parson/vicar
This book is one of the better sequels to Pride and Prejudice, and worth having in one's P & P collection. It's quite consistent with the Austen style and does not regurgitate verbatim passages from the original P & P, nor does it sound extremely archaic despite the fact that it was first ...

A Woman Worthy 1 review Nacie Joy Mackey
Autumn Night Books, 2007
Good, not great
With over 500 pages of a story about Elizabeth & Darcy, I was thrilled to purchase this last summer (2007.) I recently came upon it -- still unfinished. I had forgotten it all together and it got buried in the stack. I couldn't remember why I wouldn't have finished it because I am a voracious ...

Pride and Prejudice Paper Dolls 3 reviews Brenda Sneathen Mattox
Dover Publications, 1997
Bought this for a friend...
Actually, I considered keeping this for myself. Then I reminded myself that I am not that fond of paper dolls. The characters in the book were the major characters - Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Darcy, Lydia, and some others. A variety of costumes was provided for each character. This is a fun book for ...
