I was doing a course towards my BA degree entitled the 18th century novel. That was many, many years ago now. It got me hooked on Jane. I was born in Southampton and now live in Wimbledon, so my whole life has been in Jane country. The places mentioned in Jane’s letters are a mere drive or even walk from where I live.

On my new BLOG, London Calling, I have included many photographs of places and sites mentioned in Jane’s letters and some in her novels.

Please free to have a look.

All the best,

This mash-up book doesn’t really need to be connected with Mansfield Park because the author can pick out other names for her/his characters. From you fun review, names are the only connection I can see.

Really??? Lady Bertram? I can sort of imagine Fanny as a mummy fighter or Mary as a Vampire, but Lady Bertram being obsessed with anything? Tom, I could see as being interested in collecting all thing Egyptian. I would really like to know how anyone can write Lady Bertram like that without completely missing all the fun of Lady Bertram, but I refuse to read the mash-ups, so I guess I’ll never know…

I find the covers on the other mash-up novels to be too gruesome!

Please include me in the drawing.

Glad to hear it’s apparently done well. I don’t really mind the mashups that much.

I wonder how in the name of Tutankhamun Edmund is going to fight mummies while at the same time pine for Marry Crawford? Please include me in the giveaway. Thanks!!

Thank you!!

I don’t think I’d pay money for a mashup, but include me in the giveaway please, since it’s interesting enough to make me curious.
