She left us in July, 194 years ago...
But what she left behind....
Well, I needn't tell you, I'm sure.
Quite certain in fact.
Tales and thoughts, in words a plenty.
Enough to fill the hearts of millions of girls and boys...
Sigh.....
So lovely.
Thank goodness others have taken to interpreting her written art so beautifully, as to continue sharing the gift of Jane...

Jane Austen truly was one of the greats, and her influence on the film industry in particular has thrilled me for years. Yes, I may proudly display my nerd-dom when it comes to science fiction and fantasy, but I am equally proud of my deep and abiding love for many of the film adaptations of Jane Austen's work (and I like the books too!).
We frequently re-watch various Austen adapted films: Paltrow's "Emma", Thompson's "Sense and Sensibility", both the BBC version and the Knightley version of "Pride and Prejudice". My latest love, and it is a strong love, is the adaptation of "Persuasion" featuring Sally Hawkins. I watch the ending of that film at least once every couple of weeks. I just love it.
The Jane Austen films are always good for witty and intelligent dialogue, breath-taking scenery, and gorgeous music.

Oh dear ME that's such a dreamy movie and the soundtrack is so pretty. Each scene is shot so beautifully.
I still can't help making 'Keira face' when I watch any movie with her, though. I stick out my lower jaw in a big underbite. She's like a stunning skinny bulldog. I know, I'm weird.

Oh Jane! There is no other like her and can you believe that I didn't discover her till I was 27? Have you seen her latest adaptation of Jane Eyre??? What a beautiful feast for the eyes.
much love to you my Fanciful Friendling

Pride and Prejudice is one of my most absolute favorites!
