Customer Reviews
More please!
This was so fun! True to the spirit of the book and included all my favorite scenes. Please make more!
How fun!
So fun! Such a great book and this is a great adaptation!
A delight!
This audio adaptation is delightful fun all the way through. It is an absolute must for fans of Jane Austen novels and other dramas about the Regency period, though this has a bit more of the spark of sattire and poking fun explicitly than some other more measured stories.
