"Please note: PRIDE & PREJUDICE: BEHIND THE SCENES is a substantially revised version of the out-of-print Pride & Prejudice: The Scenes Jane Austen Never Wrote. Half of the scenes are new, never before published material. All royalties will be donated to Jane Austen related charities.
What did Mr. Darcy think when he first saw Elizabeth Bennet? How did Miss Bingley talk her brother out of proposing to Jane Bennet? And how did Lady Catherine de Bourgh find out Mr. Darcy was on the verge of proposing to Elizabeth? 15 authors of Austen-inspired fiction decided to answer these questions and more. Here are the scenes Jane Austen never wrote: ones that happened off stage, such as Mr. Collins proposing to Charlotte Lucas, and actual Pride and Prejudice scenes from the point of view of different characters.
PRIDE & PREJUDICE: BEHIND THE SCENES is not a complete novel in and of itself. It is a collection of scenes written independently and designed to complement the original. The reader can start at the beginning or dip into any scene they choose.
Contributing authors include Abigail Reynolds, Mary Simonsen, Susan Mason-Milks, Maria Grace, Jack Caldwell, C. Allyn Pierson, Shannon Winslow, Colette Saucier, Jane Odiwe, Monica Fairview, Diana Birchall, Marilyn Brant, Kara Louise, Cassandra Grafton and L.L. Diamond."

I started reading this one parallel to the original. I haven't read the original in many years.
Some scenes are ok, some give a new insight. I will try to mentions the ones I like best:
Louias and Edward Hurst at the Meryton Assembly:
It is good to see that those two have a charcter of there own and they acually like and love each other. And it is quite funny, that Louisa sees the attraction between Lizzy and Darcy and half of the things she and her husband do is play acting.
Mr. Robinson? Will he try to seduce Charlotte? I hope I get to read more of him!
A Party at the Philips's:
It is nice to see that Lady Lucas is as embarrasing for Charlotte, as Mrs. Bennet is to her daughters. I guess that is very natural and of cause Mrs Bennet is not the only mother who i keen in finding husbands for her daughters. After all it was a serious problem.

This is a nice idea and a nice read.
Scince it is not a novel some storys and theads will not fit with others.
I am not sure why there are cucumbers in march, but it is definately a funny passage.
In some storiey Louisa is son wise, mabe I would like a story about her.
