There is a saying that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.
That is why I’ve decided to make a video about my very small (but lovely!) celebration of a book launch, rather than tell you about it. The person, to whom I present my book in the video, is no other than Mr Jeremy Knight of Chawton, Jane Austen’s fourth great nephew, Father of Caroline Jane Knight, the Founder of the Jane Austen Literacy Foundation. That is why I look so ecstatic on my visit to Chawton. J

About the book:
Sumptuously presented, to make sure it does justice to the stunning place it describes, this book is the first and only of its kind. It is only available as a hardback, wrapped in a smooth dustcover with gold emboss. Inside, the book is printed on high quality silky paper with full colour paintings adorning every page.
Hand-drawn maps help you to find your way around Mr Darcy’s extensive estate and perfectly imagine every detail as if you were walking the garden paths beside your generous (and handsome!) host.
Dust cover:
Specifications:
– hardback, landscape, 28×21 cm.
– Dust cover with gold emboss.
– Satin paper.
– Full colour throughout.

PS. Scroll down for a bonus video of the book. Watch her opening the first box with her brand new children (the books). It’s touching and you can take a peek inside to see how much it is worth buying it. Here it is!
Well, I shared this via my husband’s facebook page, Michael Sommer in Wyoming. I hope that helps spread the word. I watched the new “commercial” for this book and it brought tears to my eyes. The picture of Darcy at his desk with the small portrait of Elizabeth facing was just right.
