Have you seen Lost in Austen? Have you heard of it?
If so,...why didn't you ever tell me about it????!!!
If not, ...you're in luck!
There is a four part series on PBS called Lost in Austen.
I caught the majority of the first episode last night and it will be on for the next few Sundays (on KUED.)
It is about a present-day Jane Austen fan named Amanda Price. She finds the P&P character Elizabeth Bennett in her bathroom. Elizabeth then shows her a secret door in the wall and Amanda goes through, finding herself in the Bennett home and stuck in the world of Pride & Prejudice. She tries to ensure that life there follows the life she knows from the novel.
I loved it. If you like Pride & Prejudice, you will probably like it. I haven't seen the other episodes, but I'm anxious to.
You can get more info about it here.
OR....
You can buy the DVD set here!!!
(However, let me warn you,...if you buy the DVD's you'd better be prepared to share!)
Something about it reminds me of...
Austenland by Shannon Hale, ...but just a bit.
I'm already excited for next week!
**If you could trade places with a character from a book, who would it be? Would it be a Jane Austen book?**

Oh my goodness. I LOVE Pride and Prejudice and LOVE Austenland so I'm surely looking forward to seeing this delightful take on all things Jane Austen. Thanks for the tip! I haven't heard anything!
They're not playing it on ours, but they have a copy at the library so I put that on hold. I guess I could sit and watch it online, but it's just not the same! Oooh, this looks SO good! Did you see that Shannon Hale's next Adult fiction is coming out soon? It looks really good.
I haven't heard about this either. I'll have to check it out. You know I love good ol' Jane & I love PBS!
Very exciting. I'll have to see if I can find a way to watch the first episode to be ready for next week.
