- yes I'm an Austen tragic.
Does she like Jonny Lee Miller? Then introduce her to the new Mr Knightly - that might get her reading. I think many young women became fans when Colin Firth emerged on our screens in his wet shirt. Personally I always preferred the scene when he is in the bath at Netherfield Park.
Beth I hope you are sitting down when you read this... my daughter asked me yesterday who Jane Austen was!!!! I was floored... she reads voraciously but admittedly, its mostly wildy fantastical stuff involving dragons, dungeons and vampires etc. She is never ( and I seriously mean never) without a book in her hand. She watches TV with a book in her hand.
I have clearly failed as a mother.
NNNOOOOO! Don't do it Beth. There are some things we're very very happy to leave alone and leave it to the girls. To maintain the natural balance, it needs to stay that way.The real challenge lies with getting our boys to read it.
Ahhhh, that's where I know him from! Thanks for that, I was watching it with Craig today (well, he was in the room while I was watching it) and I asked him if he recognised him. I knew he was someone from something That's about as specific as I get these day with baby brain On the positive side, he happened to notice Mr Woodhouse/Dumbledore and even recognised him as Dumbledore! I was most impressed as he's never seen any of the HP movies except in passing as I was watching themMr Knightley have both played Edmund in different versions of Mansfield Park - yes I'm an Austen tragic. I think, like Australia, the UK has only 12 actors that they just recycle.
