1820, Mary Dorothea Knatchbull is living under the sole charge of her of widowed father, Sir Edward - a man of strict principles and of high Christian values. But when her father marries Miss Fanny Knight of Godmersham Park, Mary's life is suddenly changed.

Her new stepmother comes from a large happy and sociable family and Fanny's sisters become Mary's first friends. Her aunt, Miss Cassandra Austen of Chawton, is especially kind. Fanny's brothers are not only amusing, but handsome and charming.

And as Mary Dorethea starts to bloom into a beautiful young woman, she forms a special bond with one Mr Knight in particular.

Soon, they are deeply in love and determined to marry. They expect no opposition. After all, each is from a good family and has known the  other for some years.

It promises to be the most perfect match. Who would want to stand in their way?

I ordered a little teapot and guidebook from your gift shop.  I live in the United States and was nervous about the teapot arriving in one piece!  I received both items today and they are in perfect condition.  The gifts are for my sister’s birthday and she will love them.  Thank-you so much!
