Jane Austen lovers, I have a piece in the Times today. About a super 8 film festival.
What has this to do with our great heroine, I hear you ask?
Hmm. Well for today only, for just 70p you get Claire Tomalin's masterly biography of Jane herself, in that really nice Penguin edition, FREEEE with the paper. HURRAY!!!
I actually forgot I had a piece in the paper - I bought it for the free book and only remembered I had something in there when my sister rang just now, while I was happily eating an egg sandwich and reading about Jane's childhood.
Meanwhile, in other Jane news, Petworth are doing a Jane Austen Regency Thing this coming weekend, with Redcoats (Lydia will be pleased), archery and smugglers (er, isn't that Daphne Du Maurier?) Regency dancing! Yay!
