Loved IT!! I bought the book for Sharon Lathan's story "A Darcy Christmas" but read all three. I absolutely loved all three novellas. I highly recommend this book.Carolyn Eberhart's story, "Mr Darcy's Christmas Carol" is what it sounds like. Wonderful take on the Dickens' classic. Quite fun.Amanda Grange's story "Christmas Present" takes us to the Bingley's for a family gathering and a very special arrival. Mrs Bennet is captured wonderfully and simply 'perfect'.Sharon Lathan's story "A Darcy Christmas" is a wonderful recollection, or look into the future, of Christmases Darcy . "Sweet" according to Blodeuedd. Plot:There are three stories in this book. Mr Darcy's Christmas Carol by Eberhart is the story where Mr Darcy meets three spirits of Christmas, sounds familiar, well it is. He sees the past, the present, and a future he does not want. He better make amends.The Christmas Present by Amanda Grange has the couple visiting the Bingley's over Christmas, and Lissy is pregnant and then there is a special gift coming.A Darcy Christmas by Sharon Lathan portrays the family over many years, always on Christmas.My thoughts:Ahh the Christmas feeling is over me now. I will start wi. "Austen + Dickens = ?" according to M.C.G. As it says in the title, I had the worst time with the first story here, Mr. Darcy's Christmas Carol. It just couldn't really gel at all to me and I was left feeling so depressed, which I expect from Charles Dickens, but not Jane Austen's characters, which is why I read Jane Austen and not Dickens. I wasn't very happy with the epilogue especially, so I didn't know if I could continue on reading, but I forced myself to. Luckily Amanda Grange's Christmas Present cheered me up and I loved the story a lot. I just wish it had been the whole book itself, and longer than 29
