If you enjoy Jane Austen, then you’re in for a treat with this collection of stories! All twelve of the stories nest nicely alongside the canon tales that they are inspired by, giving the reader an expanded view of scenes that were not included in Austen’s books.  My personal favorite was the titular “Pride and Perjury” which is told from Mr. Elton (from Emma )’s point of view.

Alworth is the epitome of a 19th century dandy who can't decide which of his forty-three waistcoats to wear, fusses over the

I am not usually an audiobook reader, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to listen to a review copy of P.O. Dixon’s Pride and Prejudice variation “Lady Elizabeth.” A fresh and original story about Austen’s beloved characters, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Instead of following the usual P&P plotline, Ms. Dixon poses the idea, “what if Elizabeth had been kidnapped from the Bennets and raised as the granddaughter of a duke?” In this setup, it is Darcy who is considered unsui
