At Christmas time, we return to Jane Austen’s world where warmth, wit, and hope remind us of what truly endures.
This sixth Christmas Anthology gathers new stories inspired by Jane Austen’s beloved characters, imagined by authors who offer fresh insight into their emotions, their choices, and the moments left untold. These tales remind us why her creations remain timeless companions, always ready to reveal something new.

As we mark the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, this collection invites us to rediscover the extraordinary reach of her voice and the way it continues to resonate around the world.
Proceeds from this anthology are donated to Jane Austen’s House Museum in Chawton, the cherished home where her novels took shape and where her legacy is preserved with dedication. Your purchase helps safeguard this remarkable place and the inspiration it continues to kindle.

Having shared the blurb and link, I wanted to add what I had written when I posted a notice of the release.
Jane Austen proved daring when she wrote and published her novels. Today, we continue to enjoy her humor, love of the satirical, her courage, and her excellent ability to turn a phrase. This year’s anthology includes a group of amazing authors who have written Christmas-themed short stories that honor her works and the season.
The tales found within are not exclusively the cast and characters from, arguably, her most famous work Pride and Prejudice, but proves our appreciation for A Lady’s breadth of works. My own inclusion, The Gift of Circumstance, is inspired by Persuasion. Join Barry Richman, Zarilda Belle Frost, Harry Frost, Don Jacobson, the incomparable Summer Hanford, myself, and many others as we celebrate the occasion and the spirit of the holidays with Cristina H, who dedicated her time and skills to this project!
