"Should a book reviewer consider her subject a
superior volume if she starts reading, gets lost in
the subject, and totally forgets she should be a
critic? This is precisely what happened to me and
I hope you will be as fortunate."

I hope everybody is still doing okay❤️
Since most of us won't be able to visit England for awhile, I've decided to bring a little bit of England to you. This is another anecdote about writing the Jane Austen travel guide, featuring a scary encounter with a male during one of my walks.

My parents always had a relaxed approach to parenting. In general, they assumed that I had enough common sense not get myself in too much trouble. But of course there were a few rules, three of which I can remember:

1. never accept a treat from a stranger
2. never get into a car with a stranger
3. never walk through a forest on your own

Rule number 2 I remembered in the old part of Kintbury, where the Fowle family lived, friends of the Austens. I was looking for a place to eat. As I looked in through a dingy pub window, I heard a car stop behind me. An old, somewhat battered man in an equally old and battered car referred me to the pub on the other side of the village. He assured me they served much better food. And coincidentally he was just on his way there… so if I wanted he would give me a ride!

I already saw myself being gagged and dumped in a damp basement, so I politely declined his offer and said I'd like to explore the village on foot. When I walked into the pub half an hour later, he sat talking there with his friends over a pint of beer. Turned out he wasn't an evil kidnapper at all, just a very kind man.

I had to let go of rule number 3 for writing Jane Austen's England. Of course I had to include some walking routes in the guide and of course I had to walk them first.

On one of my walks, I walked from Upper Farringdon to Chawton, along an ancient pilgrim path. No one to be seen, beautiful weather, great walking. Until I heard an infernal racket in the bushes. "There you go, Quint," I thought. "There he is, that scary man they always warned you about." But this man had antlers and was more scared of me than I was of him. As he sprinted down the path, I felt my legs trembling. So from now on there is rule number 4: watch out for jumping deer.
