  “Charming three short novellas/pieces of writings from Lady Austen. Her humorous side is quite apparent here and her characters, are very believable.
  
  The first novella, Lesley Castle, is told entirely in letters. Think chick lit of Austen's century, think cabot and her novels (like the guy next door, written in email form). You'll laugh at the obvious exaggeration in some parts, and giggle helplessly at the turn of events.
  
  Then comes 'A History of England', Austen's take on another historical book. This parody would surely give you a glimpse of the author's sense of humour and you might even side with her when she attacks Queen Lizzie.
  
  The last novella, Catharine, was entertaining, humorous and light.
  
  Any Austen fan should read this!”
