Emma: A Little Miss Austen Book

October 2, 2015 by Vic

Dear Readers, my apologies for abandoning my blog for so long. I now know why Jane Austen was silent for so long in Bath after she moved there and lost her dear father. I’ve been meaning to write new posts every month since last January, but life simply got in the way. Then I received this lovely little book in the mail. It is a perfect gift for my Janeite friend, who is due to give birth to her first child later in October/November

Emma, an emotions primer by Jennifer Adams, is the PERFECT gift for the budding little Janeite growing inside my good friend. As you can see from the images I took of a few pages, our sweet new girl will learn about emotions from the most perfect Miss Manners of them all – our dear Miss Jane.

Little Miss Austen: Emma Cover

Mr. Knightley (one of my favorite JA heroes) is loved. My mantle duck certainly thinks so.

Mr. Weston looks a bit green, does he not? He is surprised, actually.

Poor Miss Bates is scared. Let’s give her a cuppa, shall we?

My prediction is that Kate (and Jeff, her hubby) will love reading this book by Jennifer Adams to their precious twee girl. Ms Adams, btw, is a prolific author. The art by Alison Oliver will visually stimulate their baby’s eyes. The colors are bold; the shapes dramatic.

Here’s the link to BabyLit books: http://babylit.com/. I MUST get a Mr. Darcy doll for Kate’s babe when she turns 2 years. old.

Emma: $9.99 U.S. @ BabyLit
Mr. Darcy Doll $15 U.S. @ BabyLit

  Me too! I have been active on Pinterest, but that is not the same as keeping up with our Miss Jane. Thanks for your comment.

Delighted to se your name in my email feed – hope you’re back to stay or at least as much as you can.

Great to have you back. We love this blog! However, never feel bad about needing some time off for RL. We understand. Thanks so much for all of your hard work and creativity on this site. Jen

Welcome back, Vic! I missed your posts and I really don’t follow many blogs – and the ones I do I read very few posts. But I always looked forward to reading yours. Hope all is well and that from now on I can see your posts more often!
All the best and autumn cheers!

It was wonderful to receive the email tonight. Thank you for coming back. This is the best blog! I just discovered it when Vic had to take a break. So I read the whole thing several times. We all missed the creativity, energy, history and a thoroughly modern home for Austen’s devoted followers. Thank you and best regards from your fans.

I came across 2 of these books at a garage sale recently. I was so amused! But did not know anyone to buy them for….

Hello!

I was so thrilled to see your notice in my INBOX!
I have especially missed any and all of your comments about Downton Abbey, Seasons 4 & 5. I hope that you will consider remembering all of the Downton Addicts in Season Six. I am already experiencing Downton Withdrawal.

EMMA !
This is perfect for me. My daughter just gave birth to her First Child and my First Grandchild, a girl who was named EMMA Ruth Bronwen !
I no longer have to think of a gift for her Christening or her First Christmas!

Thank you.

Gosh, Vic – how nice to see you in my inbox. I thought I was seeing things :)!
Glad to have you back – I missed your wonderful bits and pieces about Jane.

Vic, my sincere condolences on the loss of your father. Thank you for this charming review, and welcome back. I’ve missed your posts.

Welcome back, Vic! I’ve missed your posts and have been praying for you and your family every day.

So lovely to see the connection to your blog in my email list. I use your blog to help me understand the lives of my ancestors as I trawl through our family history – it helps it come to life rather than just looking at dates and places. Thank you so much.

What an amazing little book, Vic. I could use it for a circle time in PHSE lessons. Good to hear from you, Tony

This little book is adorable and the perfect gift for a newborn. Glad to see you back.

Vic, thank you for sharing the information about the book. It will be on my list for the little ones. And a heartfelt welcome back. What a pleasure to have you back at that keyboard.

My condolences on the loss of your father…mine has been gone for almost 30 years (early death-COPD) and I still miss him. After all, they are our “first men”! But I am so happy to see you back – I was missing you and your wonderful blog a lot!
on October 3, 2015 at 15:36 Janeite Deb

Love these books Vic! Moreso because this “Emma” induced you to blog again – Very good to have you back!
on October 3, 2015 at 15:56 Kevin

Dear Vic, wellcome back, Nika

Vic, I’m stunned! Every month I check your blog, just in case; but I wasn’t really expecting to find a new post! So glad you’re back. You’ve been missed.
on October 5, 2015 at 18:56 Barbara

Soooo glad you’re back!! I re-visited previous posts because I missed you so much! Love the Regency history lessons!

So glad to see you back. I haven’t seen this version of Emma but my younger niece just LOVED Pride and Prejudice: A Counting Primer when she was 2. We both liked the Cozy Classics version of Emma. She got the story right away and told it back to me. I need that Mr. Darcy doll for my nephews when they’re older to show them the correct way to dress to impress.
