I've got so many of these, that I thought it would be easier to just do them in installments. Here is Batch 2 -- this time with Henry, as requested. ;-) I have been experimenting with my style, so comments are very welcome!

As usual, do not steal, these are not bases, credit and comment if taking, and enjoy. :-)

*jaw drop* You mean you haven't??? Gasp! ;-) Seriously, you really should. It's excellent, and certainly one of Jane Austen's most under-appreciated novels. The movie is very different from the book, but the book is much better. ;-)

Have you read any JA at all?

Northager Abbey is actually the only Austen novel I haven't read, so it's about time! I love her. (I actually didn't know there was an existing filmed version of NA, either - how is it?)

Okay, just checking. ;-) I'm glad! Which one was your favourite?

I didn't know it either, until a copy turned up at our local library. I for one think it's great, but keep in mind that this particular movie seems to be somewhat polarizing amongst JA fans. It *is* different from the novel, and it stars Peter Firth as the hero, and IMHO he's completely wrong, and some find him kind of creepy. Don't let me scare you away!

OTO, the Gothic-ness of it is rather amusing, despite the really awful '80s music. ;-) The costumes are lovely, and the casting minus PF is very good, especially Catherine and General Tilney (Sir John Middleton from S&S). I love it however, so I guess I am biased!

Have you read any Gaskell?
