The Darcys Give a Ball

I absolutely loved this gentle, amusing romp amongst the grown children and their parents, of so many of Austen's characters: the Darcys, the Bingleys, the Knightleys, the Brandons, the Collins, and on and on. What struck me was the author's great affection for the characters, both her new ones and the Austen-created ones; she even made the odious Mr. Collins a more sympathetic character! And in the end, it is also an ode to the patience, wisdom and sheer sense of Charlotte Lucas Collins. Sweet, light, and utterly delightful!
