Sixteen Portraits of Tender Hearts from Jane Austen's Novels
Sixteen Portraits of Tender Hearts from Jane Austen's Novels

Of course, being an ardent fan of the regency era and an obsessive pursuer of Macfadyen!Darcy, I could hardly decline such an opportunity!
Thus, over the course of several months I spent time refreshing my memory of each love-struck heroine and suitor, depicting sixteen female and male characters as they were conceived in Austen's prose, in cinematic casting agencies, and in my mind's creative canvas.
