I’ve often
desired to hop across the pond to England just to go into the English countryside
and visit the places which Austen speaks of in her novels and places where Jane
herself lived. I have loved many authors, but none so much as our dear Jane.

Who is to
say what it is about her that speaks to us. Her novels are like old friends
that bring us comfort or happiness when we need it most. They are timeless
treasures which each of us holds onto. This enchantment is what spurs our
desire to see the places Jane lived and those she spoke about in her novels.
Pride and
Prejudice is 200 years old! Who knew age could look so good, but it does. Take a tour through Jane Austen’s English Countryside with Smithsonian Magazine. Read the article by Nina Fedrizzi here.
I hope you
enjoy your journey.
