  • Harriet and Ellen Know Their Jane!

    I love this show. The mother daughter duo offer not only wonderful insights into Jane Austen’s novels and world, but also are a great example of a working partnership with chemistry and mutual admiration. I always learn something new and interesting and thoroughly enjoy their repartee. Well done!
