A Rambling Fancy
A Rambling Fancy: In the Footsteps of Jane Austen | Caroline Sanderson
6 posts | 1 read
Caroline Sanderson seeks out Jane Austen's England to see what still remains today. Following in Jane Austen's footsteps, she tramps the muddy fields around Austen's childhood home in Hampshire, walks the elegant streets of Bath, and strolls along the breezy promenades of south coast resorts. Drawing on Jane Austen's letters and novels, Sanderson charts her own experiences of the places from which Jane Austen sought inspiration, and reaches some original and fascinating conclusions, whilst shedding light on just why this very English novelist is still so universally cherished and why her influence remains so great.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Watson loves running through it when it's fresh & still soft. The downside of living in an apartment downtown though is that the salt used on the sidewalks hurts his paws. 1y

Dec 17th #WinterReadathon #WinterReadathonDailyChallenge

A healthier theme today. In the U.K. 17th December starts the Festival of Winter Walks. So for today‘s Daily Challenge post a picture of a walk today, or from a favourite walk, could even be an audio walk.

If you get a Christmas or holiday image in that walk give yourself 10 extra points.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Thanks to the dog, I take a couple walks daily. If I'm dressed properly I don't mind until it's so cold the air hurts my face. 1y

#fallintobooks Day 6 #bookpairings

So many things pair well with Jane Austen, but wouldn't a trip to all the Jane sites be amazing?
