Author: Quinn, Tess

Condition: New

Product DescriptionA collection of Original Stories based on the 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. These are book-based 'interludes' the events of which fit into Austen's narrative at various points generally without changing the original plot. They feature your favorites from the book: Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy; but also offer character glimpses of Georgiana Darcy, Colonel Fitzwilliam, Charlotte Lucas (Collins)and many other familiar friends as well. Stories range from light-hearted humour to romantic moments to all-out fantasy. There are proposals, misunderstandings, mistaken identities, parlour games and more! Any story not strictly book-faithful is identified as such: post-P&P, or pure fantasy. Whether you have read Pride and Prejudice once, or have revisited it again and again - anyone who hates to turn that last page will find something to delight in these offerings! And, there is a bonus! A preview chapter of a novel, working title Principles of Pride, to be published late in 2013. 'Janeite' or neophyte - there is something here to enjoy for all!About the AuthorTess Quinn is the nom de plume for an armchair time traveller.

Her own collection of short stories, Pride Revisited, was first released on 28 Jan 2013, the 200th anniversary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice.
