It had been an exceptionally wet October with winds and gales blowing around Mansfield Park almost daily, and Fanny was thankful to have recourse to her own dear East Room. This had been the Bertram sisters’ former school-room, now Fanny’s own refuge; but it was a chilly refuge in the inclement weather, for Fanny was …

Comfort and Joy- Excerpt and Cover Reveal
Don’t you think our Jane would agree that there’s nothing like reading a wonderful holiday story for real comfort?

Mary Crawford’s Harvest by Diana Birchall

Each of the two paragraphs …

Harvesting Friendship
There are numerous jokes in the Jane Austen on-line world about Mr. Collins’ affinity for potatoes. Although I’m ‘Team BBC,’ I still love any P&P fix I can get, and enjoy the way Janeites pay homage to this root vegetable in the most obscure ways. Maybe it was that, or maybe I had too many …
Elizabeth & Darcy’s Happy Meeting
Hello everyone! I found this old vignette while digging through my files recently. I posted it online years ago.
