Notes on this photo play:
1. As you will notice, for the sake of keeping this simple I dispensed with 2 Bennet sisters.
2. The small round table that appears in several scenes is the actual table Jane Austen wrote her novels on.
I love this, can't wait to see the next part, too cute! (Yes, I'm a P&P fan if you can't already tell.)
ReplyDeleteI am SO glad you like it! I wasn't sure if anyone would. I hoped this might be a fun way to introduce P&P to younger girls.
ReplyDeleteOops! I just realized I left out a picture! So, check back. : )
Oh, no! I didn't leave anything out - oops again. : )
