"The Final Say: Jane Austen" by Monty Gilmer

THE FINAL SAY: JANE AUSTEN
by Monty Gilmer

The novels of Jane Austen
Are the ones to get lost in.
                --Edmund Clerihew Bentley

I wonder if Petula Clark
Has ever read Mansfield Park.
                                   --Monty Gilmer


(English songstress Petula Clark was born on this day in 1932.)
