A family friend gave this to me when I was a Jane Austen-mad teenager. Ever since, I've been scouting for other young Austen fans to give it to. Weldon writes a series of fictitious letters about not just appreciating Austen, but good fiction in general. At times the book is a bit much, but it also conveys a real love of fine writing and of the classics. It's a more cerebral appreciation of such works than Fforde's Thursday Next series, but still very enjoyable.
