Story Behind The Book
Mary Calhoun Brown is a Janiac. After years of reading and re-reading and laughing at Jane Austen's social satire, Brown decided to translate it into something her family and friends from the South would enjoy. The end result is a hilarious re-telling of Pride & Prejudice, written in southern dialect and colloquialism that appeals to everyone. A home run.
