I can't recall who made the versions I have seen) of the BBC versions, but now I will surely look for them.Taffinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961088325369065690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-14470473413134172032008-01-15T07:15:00.000-05:002008-01-15T07:15:00.000-05:00As Vanilla and Minx said, all BBC adaptations are ...As Vanilla and Minx said, all BBC adaptations are very good.

I think, by now, I've seen all the Jane Austen "movies" - and I've enjoyed them all - though some more than others. Enjoy the PBS season!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-43951856053518342532008-01-11T11:55:00.000-05:002008-01-11T11:55:00.000-05:00You are right, being intangible, you can't really ...You are right, being intangible, you can't really give free a beating.<BR/>And I also agree that the tangible effect of free on one's wallet is a good thing.Taffinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961088325369065690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-30446029235434459882008-01-11T11:33:00.000-05:002008-01-11T11:33:00.000-05:00Taffiny - I hear what you're saying.

I will seek others there.<BR/><BR/> But I like holding her works in my hands, and walking about with them pressed up to my chest (should I say heart?). That is how Emma got so tattered, she fell in a water feature at a miniature golf course, went through a bit of rapids and under a tunnel of sorts, before we could take our clubs and fish her out. I like that though, looking at the book always reminds me of that shore vacation.Taffinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961088325369065690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-90978030525495330422008-01-11T10:45:00.000-05:002008-01-11T10:45:00.000-05:00Did you know you can read many of Jane Austen's wo...Did you know you can read many of Jane Austen's works for free online at Project Gutenberg?<BR/><BR/>http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/a#a68<BR/><BR/>Paul (strugglingwriter)strugglingwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895062852286494753noreply@blogger.com
