Over the past few years my appreciation for all things Jane Austen has just continued to bloom. And last year was a pinnacle as all of her works were made and re-made into Masterpiece Theater movies! And then there was my indulgence in a Jane Austen doll I blogged about here.
Now I have an even more significant reason to delight in all things Jane. I am the publicist for a great new spring book titled Remarkably Jane.
The author, an amazingly talented writer and editor, and great co-worker, has compiled dozens of quotes on this classic author. Some laude her as the greatest writer in history, while others still shake disagree with all the acclaim. In fact, one of the quotes is particularly hilarious:
Every time I ready Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and hit her over the skull with her own shin-bone.
-- Mark Twain,1898
The book launches in March and I hope you all rush out and get copies to send to your friends, family and fellow Janeites!
