Elizabeth: Obstinate Headstrong Girl (The Quill Collective)

Each anthology in the Quill Collective series is a stand-alone book."Obstinate, headstrong girl!" For over two hundred years, the heroine of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, Elizabeth Bennet has enchanted and inspired readers by being that "obstinate, headstrong girl" willing to stand up to the arrogance and snobbery of her so-called betters. Described by Austen as having a "lively, playful disposition," Elizabeth embodies the perfect imperfections of strong-willed women everywhere: she is spirited, witty, clever, and loyal. In this romance anthology, ten Austenesque authors sketch Elizabeth's character through a collection of re-imaginings, set in the Regency through contemporary times. In ELIZABETH: OBSTINATE, HEADSTRONG GIRL, she bares her most intimate thoughts, all the while offering biting social commentary about life's absurdities. Elizabeth overcomes the obstacles of others' opinions, not to mention her own flaws, to find a love truly worthy of her-her Mr. Darcy-all with humor and her sparkling charm. "I think her as delightful a character as ever appeared in print..." wrote Jane Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra, January 1813―and we think so too! Foreword by NY Times & USA Today bestselling author Tessa Dare. Stories by: Elizabeth Adams, Christina Boyd, Karen M Cox, J. Marie Croft, Amy D'Orazio, Leigh Dreyer, Jenetta James, Christina Morland, Beau North, and Joana Starnes.
