P&P Bicentennial
Happy 200th Birthday
Conctance re-reads her favourite book today – the 200th Anniversary of its’ publication.
Jane Austen is Constance’s favourite Author, and she would rather like to watch the 6-part BBC’s Pride and Prejudice again. Though Colin Firth has never been her idea of a perfect Darcy, she loves Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth, and David Bamber’s Mr Collins makes her laugh hard enough to loosen her pegs.

Constance is also strongly hinting for a Regency-era dress…

Oh…we love Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. He’s played Mr. Darcy in about three films. But we all have our favorites. I also really loved the Kiera Knightly version…different than the A&E version, certainly, but it had its merits. Tell Constance that I’d like a Regency era dress as well.
All things considered, I think we like the book the very best of all!
One of Mrs. Toad’s very favorite stories, indeed… I have shared in viewing it countless times with her… yes, the Colin Firth one.
Ah well, Colin Firth as Darcy seems to have many admirers. I liked him in The King’s Speech.
Has Constance received her longed for Regency dress yet? She has such a gentle spirit that she may hesitate to ask too loudly for it…. 🙂
Yes she has, we had a Jane Austen Tea Extravaganza complete with costumes, and we are thinking it is time to have another such tea again soon!
