Will be unable to attend because I have a prior commitment that day. I would have loved to have come and hopefully if there is a North, Part II I can make that.

Hi Deb,
Thanks for your kind words! You have wonderful posts.

I haven’t read that book…thanks for mentioning it! I see you have a wonderful program in April. I hope to sail in your direction, weather and other factors being favorable. There is a book on that subject by Brian Southam…”Jane Austen and the Navy”. Have you read it? Alas, the only copy locally is a reference book. I have peeked at it.

Thanks again!
Kirk

Hey Kirk,

I have just started Byrne’s book as well! I loved her ‘JA and the Theatre’ – if you haven’t read that you must – gives a whole new perspective to Austen’s writing…

Wish I was nearer to Boston – you guys have so much going on all the time – incl your book group!
Best,
deb

Thanks Deb!!!! I did love Mullan’s book!!! I see my postings ran together. I’m a third of the way into Paula Byrne’s book. I like it but don’t love it as much as Mullan’s book. If I remember correctly, the beauty of Carol Shields book was when she was writing about the books.

I have just finished Mullan’s book – could just go back and start it all over again – he is brilliant – you will love it! – and I completely agree with your disliking the NYTimes reviewer’s snide comment about Carol Shields – let him try to write a short life [as the penguin lives required] as she did – her loving tribute to Austen… you are spot-on in your critique!

Hello,
I am also a fan of Jane Austen and read all her novels.
I also collect Barbie dolls and have created some photo adaptations of Austen’s novels on my blog. Austen fans find it inspiring. I would be very glad if you could add me to your blog list with this link to my reproduction of “Pride and Prejudice”
http://barbiefantasies.com/category/film/pride-and-prejudice-film/
and/or of “Emma” (that I am publishing regularly on my site):

Let me know if you are interested and if you want me to link back to you.

I would be glad to read your answer.
Cheers,
Kate

YOU most certainly did. You could have had a king or queen visit!

Thanks! We don’t work together, we’re just good friends. Got to pull out all the stops once a year for Christmas, right?
