About the Wardrobe Series: The Wardrobe sends Bennets on time travels where they can discover what they must. Explore how the Bennet sisters' love stories echo through time across all eight books. Some doors open to cloaks and bonnets, others to unknown futures. Leigh Dreyer, author of the "Flight" Series, a Pride and Prejudice Variation wrote of the Bennet Wardrobe: Don deftly weaves a fascinating tapestry of intrigue, fantasy, romance, and adventure not to be missed by anyone who loves Jane Austen. While his books begin with familiar characters, each subsequent volume examines complex personalities and experiences, deepening the reader's experience. Readers rate "Henry Fitzwilliam's War" Five Stars: Carol (in Canada) says: A beautifully written novella introducing a major character, Henry Fitzwilliam, great-grandson of Lydia Bennet in a historical/alternate journey of Pride & Prejudice in the Bennet Wardrobe series. It is rich in history, emotions and the five senses that blend seamlessly together. This novella is next in line after 'The Keeper' and before the next book comes out "The Exile". Donadee's Corner reviews: Don's characters accentuate the storyline while keeping somewhat with the original. He gracefully plays with the lives of the characters and gives them new directions that will excite you all the while knowing that it is still one of our favorite books. Nicole Clarkston enthuses: The book starts out gritty and ambitious, then waxes lyrical and transcendent as it tackles sweeping topics of ruinous pride and love that defies boundaries. Highly recommend this contribution to the popular Wardrobe Series!
