Church-going in Austen's Day

Chawton Church, Hampshire.

Pop over to my Jane Austen blog for my latest post, on Sundays in Regency-era Britain.

Terry Pratchett

I was deeply saddened by the news this week that Terry Pratchett had died. He was my favourite modern fantasy author, and he had a unique imagination and sense of humour. We have spent many happy hours in the car listening to his Discworld audiobooks, read by the inimitable Tony Robinson. A great loss to literature.
