Blog Tour: Mr Darcy's Guide to Pemberley by Julia B. Grantham - with giveaway!

I am thrilled and very excited to be sharing with you today that my wonderful friend Julia's amazing new book is now available! There is a great giveaway with the post too!  

Mr Darcy’s Guide to Pemberley – OUT NOW!

Hi, my name is Julia B. Grantham and I am delighted to be visiting Sophie’s amazing blog today to announce that the wait is over and the book is finally out!

It is rather symbolic that it is on Sophie’s blog I am making this announcement. Sophie was the first person, who I told that I was an author behind ‘Elizabeth Bennet Darcy’ Facebook page, it is to her tea party I came to Bath for the first time and discovered for myself the surreal and wonderful world of Jane Austen’s Festival and its many excellent participants – talented, kind and dedicated people. Therefore it is only fitting – that it is on Sophie’s blog I am sharing the news that my three-year journey is at its end and the book is ready! Its destiny is now in your hands. 

Watch me unpacking the parcel and seeing the finished book for the first time:

About the book:

One “had never seen a place for which nature had done more, or where natural beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste.”

From its very first appearance 200 years ago on the pages of Jane Austen’s masterpiece Pride & Prejudice, Pemberley has captured the hearts and imaginations of generations and fashioned its own army of devoted followers. 

Over the years Pemberley has become synonymous with tasteful grandeur, peaceful comfort and the charm of a well-loved old English stately home. Time and time again millions of Jane Austen‘s devoted readers sigh with Elizabeth‘s feeling that “to be mistress of Pemberley might be something!”

Sumptuously presented, to make sure it does justice to the stunning place it describes, this book is the first and only of its kind. It is only available as a hardback, wrapped in a smooth dustcover with gold emboss. Inside, the book is printed on high quality silky paper with full colour paintings adorning every page. Hand-drawn maps help you to find your way around Mr Darcy’s extensive estate and perfectly imagine every detail as if you were walking the garden paths beside your generous (and handsome!) host.

Specifications:

- hardback, landscape, 28x21 cm.

- Dust cover with gold emboss.

- Satin paper.

- Full colour throughout.

- 108 pages, with illustrations on every page.

My question to you today:

If you had to choose a house amongst many grand and not so grand houses described in Jane Austen’s books – what would it be? Actually, I need to change the question, I think – what would be your second choice after Pemberley? :)

Best of luck!
