The Heir to Longbourn
Laurence Fleming2009

Longbourn- the home in Pride and Prejudice of Mr and Mrs Bennet and their daughters is due to be inherited by a cousin. Can the unctuous Mr Collins be deprived of his expectations? The Heir to Longbourn is more than a sequel. The author ingeniously incorporates characters from four Jane Austen novels - Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. The result is an enjoyable piece of historical romantic fiction. The settings and characters will resonate with familiarity, and even without knowledge of the originals the Jane Austen style will entertain.
