Occasionally, I would rewatch the DVDs. I've tried to get others to share my love, but it's not everybody's cup of afternoon tea. Surprisingly though, my then-8-year-old enjoyed watching the series with me.
When I was visiting Bath in 2012, I came across the Jane Austen Centre. It's quite a delightful place, with lots of historical facts and trivia, period costumes and backgrounds on Jane's best loved novels.
With a renewed interest in her works, I bought two other BBC TV series based on Jane Austen's novels — Mansfield Park and Sense & Sensibility — to watch with my girl. I found the former rather slow-moving, but Sense & Sensibility was a lot of fun (with yummy eye candy too!).
I also bought two of these Real Reads books — well-written adaptations of the classics into modern-day language, through the eyes of one of the key characters. Girl loved it and made me get her the rest in the Jane Austen series. I managed to order them through Kinokuniya Malaysia.
Am very glad Girl shares my love for the wonderful world of Jane Austen. Here she writes about which story she enjoyed most:
