Beschreibung

A plethora of festive traditions wait to be uncovered from the romance of a sailor's valentine on Valentine's Day to a raucous bonfire on Guy Fawkes Day. Sneak a few berries while picking strawberries in the summer and inhale the rich aroma of a goose dinner on Michaelmas Day. Bask in the glow of the yule log while sipping a cup of hot wassail or take a turn stirring up the pudding for Christmas dinner. As your journey through the Regency Era unfolds, discover how holidays continue to be more than just traditions or rituals passed from generation to generation. Experience each month's charm that turns holidays and occasions into a festive, shiny ribbon threading its way from the Regency Era to today and beyond. Enjoy celebrating occasions with Jane Austen and her Regency Era contemporaries and discover just how much you have in common.

Autor

Lindy developed an interest in Jane Austen and all things related to her genteel world a few short years ago and that interest soon blossomed into love. That love has spilled over into various Regency Era-related topics including the research of holidays of the era, their origins, how they were celebrated and how they appear in Jane Austen's novels and personal letters. A member of the Jane Austen Society of North America, Lindy has spoken to a variety of groups and has taught Continuing and Adult Professional Education classes on Regency Era holidays at Southern Methodist University (SMU). A graduate of Abilene Christian University, Lindy lives in Plano, Texas and works for an area convention and visitors bureau assisting visitors to and residents of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. As hobbies, Lindy enjoys writing, reading an engaging novel or cross stitching delicate patterns - Jane Austen-related (of course) and otherwise. Jane Austen Celebrates is Lindy's first book with a second book, a novel, currently in the works.
