This compilation of short stories was wonderful. There were to many to comment on any specific story, as there were 22 such stories. They ranged from continuations/alteration of Jane's works to stories with Jane herself in the story plot. There were also a lot of modern versions of Jane Austen's work. They were all written very entertaining and I enjoyed them immensely. I personally rated most of the stories 4 stars, some 5 stars. I also rate a few 3 stars but did enjoy those stories very much!

A wonderful collection of short stories by some of my favorite Austenesque authors! I was also introduced to some new ( to me) authors. If you enjoy short stories and especially the Austenesque genre, I think you'll love this collection.
