The most appealing entry is the comic “History of England”, in which Miss Austen covers the monarchy from Henry IV to Charles II. I like the unashamed bias shown for York over Lancaster when discussing the Wars of the Roses, while the pro-Mary, Queen of Scots, attitude coupled with the anti-Elizabeth I sentiments is great fun.
As for the other stories, I enjoyed them in parts rather than on the whole.
My favourite scene is when a family hear a knock on their door – an action that’s repeated several times – yet the family first debate whether someone really did just knock, and – once satisfied that someone truly is at the door – they discuss who it might be, rather than going at once to find out.
In general, like with this author’s famous works, we have an abundance of eloquent writing, but very little happens. This is why I’ll never be an Austen fan, though I do like her stylish use of the English language. ( )
