Q&A with Jane Austen Society of Australia’s Susannah Fullerton

BOOK REVIEW: Celebrating Pride and Prejudice by Susannah Fullerton

A review copy of Celebrating Pride and Prejudice: 200 Years of Jane Austen’s Masterpiece by Susannah Fullerton (Jane Austen Society of Australia president) turned up at my local post office in early December, having been sent from the PR Department of Quayside Publishing Group. It is an absolute delight, and I’ve been dying to post about it.

From cover to cover, every Pride and Prejudice fan will be enthralled.
