Lost in Austen

Lost in Austen: Create your own Jan Austen Adventure

By Emma Campbell Webster

Yes, you read correctly, it's a Jane Austen Choose Your Own Adventure! If you are not a Jane Austen fan you might enjoy this story as well with its abridged plots and occasional death scenes.
With sarcastic wit the author sends the reader (aka Elizabeth Bennett) on a mission: "To marry both prudently and for love." In a delightful tangle of Jane Austen plots and characters, you must wend your way through the story avoiding the many pitfalls along the way. Webster's chiding and occasional praise along the adventure add humor to an already fun Jane Austen romp. I must admit I needed several bookmarks to read this book so I could read out all of options. To be completely honest I would not have survived well in Jane Austen's time (do you paint or stitch a screen?). Nonetheless, as a Jane Austen addict I had so much fun with this book it was hard to bring it back to the library.
