I love reading the descriptions of Derbyshire in Pride and Prejudice. I particularly like the descriptions of the woods - you can almost touch and feel the green from the descriptions. Sounds cool, mossy and verdant!
I live in Sri Lanka which is hot and humid. We do have a lot of green around but its a totally different kind of green. This is what makes Derbyshire so very attractive for me.
I have only been able to get one sequel - Mr. Darcy takes a wife - but this is a book which has never come up on any of the blogs! It was lovely and I dearly hope that I would be able to get an opportunity of reading the various sequels around. Books in Sri Lanka are very very expensive and getting my hands on the latest is a far fetched probability! We can still hope though.
