With imagination and authenticity Joan Aiken captures the customs
and language of Austen's England in this one of a kind sequel to
Jane Austen's classic novel, Mansfield Park, revealing a subversive
and unique heroine. Harriet Ward, know as Hatty to her sisters, is
treated with utter contempt by most of her family. Lacking the
beauty that her older sisters inherited she is left without a dowry
to care for their ill mother once her sisters are married off. Sent
to Portsmouth to live with her rumbustious uncle and cousins, Hatty
turns her creative flair to poetry and believes she must become a
governess. That is until handsome Lord Camber passes through town .
. . Jane Austen's Mansfield Park famously narrates the story of
poor little Fanny Price sent to live with her mother's grander
sisters - the Ward family. Written almost two centuries later, Joan
Aiken's powerful sequel reverses the story and introduces us to The
Youngest Miss Ward, Hatty, sent to fend for herself with the poor
relations. 'Joan Aiken's invention seemed inexhaustible, her high
spirits a blessing, her sheer storytelling zest a phenomenon. She
was a literary treasure, and her books will continue to delight for
many years to come.' Philip Pullman
