Book Reviews of The Jane Austen Handbook: A Sensible Yet Elegant Guide to Her World
Book Review: Fun For Janenites!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I know this book is not necessary and never expected a detailed educated manual on Regency England. What I received was exactly what I wanted: A good easy read that was entertaining and, at times, even funny! I was entertained from beginning to the end and even found some new information that helped me to better understand Miss Austen's life. For Jane Austen fans this is a great way to entertain your mind but do not expect a book that is majorly educational!!
