Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit! After downloading and reading a couple of PDF stories I found on the 'net I happily changed my opinion. Last week I bought The Companion of my Future Life for kindle and intend to get to it soon. This story sounds like even more fun, especially as Northanger Abbey is my absolute favourite JA story. (My view of The Scarlet Pimpernel is, sadly, far too influenced by the Blackadder version.) Your review, along with the comments, have cemented my determination to place this at the top of my Must-Read list. Many thanks for post this review and for offering a generous giveaway. <br /><br />opisica4 [at] gmail {dot] comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383581561921594332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-22881194290430535922016-07-24T14:08:51.622-05:002016-07-24T14:08:51.622-05:00I'm another one who loved The Three Colonels a...I'm another one who loved The Three Colonels and I also re-read Northanger Abbey earlier thus year, for the first time in a good number of years. Combining the two looks like an inspired choice. <br /><br />The Scarlet Pimpernel is a book I've never read but I have vague recollections of seeing the Anthony Andrews dramatisation, probably around the time it was made. <br /><br />Jack Caldwell's latest book sound like a good read from what I've heard so far. One more for the Wish List!<br /><br />Thanks for your review, Janet and to both of you for the giveaway. <br /><br />angmardee(at)hotmail(dot)comAnjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580018261533290062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-76982882845216762512016-07-24T13:01:07.235-05:002016-07-24T13:01:07.235-05:00Thank you for the wonderful review.
