Mr. Tilney issues an invitation to the Gentle Readers of AustenBlog

July 25, 2011

We have been directed by Mr. Tilney to issue an invitation. He is making himself available to answer questions from the Gentle Readers of AustenBlog. It’s sort of like having an instant big brother. Do you need advice about your love life, your career, your accomplishments, or your reading list? Are you wondering about the great philosophical questions regarding life, the universe, and everything? (He has promised not to answer “42″ to any of the questions.) Do you require wardrobe advice? Mr. Tilney can explain it all. Please send your questions to the Editrix at austenblog AT gmail DOT com by August 2, 2011.

While the answers will be entirely via text, we figure any excuse to post Mr. Tilney’s Old Spice parody is a good one.

This event will be part of the Austenesque Extravaganza taking place at the Austenesque Reviews blog throughout the month of August. Check out the blog for the schedule and participants. There will also be a giveaway as part of the Extravaganza that we think will interest the Gentle Readership!

    What a brilliant idea! Bet that would be a great newsletter feature. ;-)
