| BOOK RELEASE! I'm delighted to announce the publication of my latest book, 'Jane Austen's Easter'. You can see some draft chapters in my WDC portfolio. Thank you to all my lovely WDC friends for their critique on my work. My greatest thanks go to fellow Jane Austen fan Princess Megan Rose who suggested the idea of the book with a prompt asking how Jane Austen might have celebrated Easter, Inspired by Jane Austen’s letters and novels, and the history of Easter in Britain, this book transports you to a spring day in the Regency era. Discover how Jane Austen would have viewed Easter as the daughter of a clergyman, the Easter traditions familiar to her, what was popular to wear and eat at Easter, and how Jane Austen and the characters she writes about might have spent their time over Easter. Full of activities and ideas of things to make and do inspired by Easter in the Regency era, this book is perfect for anyone hoping to hold a Jane Austen themed Easter party. Lavishly illustrated throughout. Find out more on my website: https://hollymerryauthor.wordpress.com/2022/02/09/jane-austens-easter/?fbclid=Iw...
