Authors and Story Links
By the time I post this, I will have returned from a Jane Austen exhibition at The Dorset Museum in Dorchester. This was called Jane Austen - Down To The Sea and looked at her links with the coast.
Confession time - I was only aware of the one link, that being The Cobb at Lyme Regis. It is a major scene in Austen's Persuasion.
I've not read The French Lieutenant's Woman which I believe also uses The Cobb as a setting.
I do always think of Persuasion whenever I visit Lyme Regis though.
The exhibition was an eye opener, fun, and I am so glad I went.
So if a favourite author of yours has an exhibition on, why not check it out? They can be another way of helping you enjoy even more from the books you love. That has to be a good thing!
