Title: Old Friends and New Fancies by Sybil G. Brinton
Product review: Who was this mysterious Sybill G. Brinton? History records very little about her more than her dates of birth and death. She was childless and no known photograph of her exists! What a shame she never wrote anything else. I found her book to be delightful. All the major Jane Austen characters are back and no one, by the end of the book, remains single. Because this book was written in 1913 (says so on the cover), the turn of phrase and general style is much more like Jane's than anything these modern day Jane Wannabe's come up with. But being so much closer to our time, the prose is very comfortable for the modern reader. I found the book to be very pleasant and never ridiculous. I highly recommend this to any fan of Jane Austen. I thoroughly enjoyed it
