To celebrate the UK’s National Year of Reading, the theme for this year’s Potfest exhibitors’ competition is Penguin 100 Must-Read Classics.
I chose Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I work just around the corner from Jane Austen’s House in Chawton and, although I have never actually read the book, I have watched both the film adaptation and the BBC version many times. I’ve also visited Chawton on numerous occasions—or, to be more accurate, I’ve admired the house from the pub across the road!
Given my connection to the village and my fondness for the story’s screen adaptations, Pride and Prejudice seemed a perfect choice for this year’s theme.
This will be heading to Scone Palace, Perth, Scotland 12th 13th & 14th June along with a van full or animals co.uk
