Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Duologues and Scenes From the Novels of Jane Austen: Arranged and Adapted for Drawing-Room Performance
IT is an ungrateful task to write a preface, for few people, if any, ever read one.
The play's the thing, and a good play needs no epilogue. So should a good book need no preface, and for one that can boast of containing between its two covers seven picked scenes from the pen of one of the most charming writers in the English language - Jane Austen no introduction whatever is needed. But to ruthlessly tear her from the library shelf and place her in the hands of the amateur actor demands explanation and even apology.
