I suppose it is true that this is a tale as old as time, told and retold, lived and relived. It is a tale of adventure and learning, as much as it is a tale of trust and love. Our heroine is a beauty in mind and spirit, and our hero a beast in demeanor and discipline. Together in a distant universe of the great wide somewhere, they become the unknowing leads in one of life's true love stories.

In one volume, you can read two classic English romances reimagined by Katherine Woodbury. The "gentleman" is Darcy from Pride & Prejudice; the "rake" Mr. B from Samuel Richardson's Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded. Mr. B Speaks! is part reimagining, part literary criticism, and ALL satire (of the aforementioned literary criticism). All parts of Mr. B Speaks! have now been posted. A Man of Few Words is a journey inside the brain of an intense introvert, namely Fitzwilliam Darcy. A Man of Few Words, starting with the foreword, will be posted beginning January 2, 2014. The omnibus volume begins with a discussion of the romance genre in English literature. What is our fascination with romance? How has it changed over the years? If you are interested in learning more about English life in the time periods for these novellas, related notes can be accessed at http://katenovels.blogspot.com.
