Those who tell their own story you know, must be listened to with caution.

~ Jane Austen, Anne Telscombe, Marie Dobbs, Sanditon: Jane Austen’s Last Novel Completed ~

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen fans (at least here in the U.S.), will watch anything that’s connected to her books. As a fan of Andrew Davies’ 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, I’m excited for this eight episode mini-series, based on her last unfinished novel, which is beginning Sunday night on PBS. If you haven’t see the trailer, check it out.

L.M. Montgomery, Lovely Literary Lines, March

March came in that winter like the meekest and mildest of lambs, bringing days that were crisp and golden and tingling, each followed by a frosty pink twilight which gradually lost itself in an elfland of moonshine.
