about NA, I am interested to read other's comments. Let it be said though, that I thought "Love and Freindship" was at times so hilarious I couldn't get over it. So funny. Laura is an amazing narrator and her life is anything but dull. I loved the "frenzy faint" and the quote about it being better to run mad than faint, because of the consequences of drops in temperature. Such a clever writing at so young an age. Would JA's family have heard these stories read aloud? If so, they would have loved them. I totally enjoyed reading this piece for the first time:-D
