The Golden Daffodil

Expanded Edition: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: Laraba Kendig

Narrado por: Harry Frost

Mr. Darcy’s proposal is rejected

But a hero is born

Elizabeth Bennet was entirely surprised when Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy proposed marriage to her. He was more surprised when Elizabeth forcefully rejected him. Colonel Fitzwilliam, caught in the middle, fuels her considerable self-doubt. Had she been wrong about the rude and snobbish Mr. Darcy?

Jane is shaken by events of the past, and the scales fall from her eyes, revealing to her a world filled with evil. Her anger toward Bingley pushes them apart. Can Bingley’s best efforts overcome poor odds or has Jane moved on for good?

Wickham remains on the loose, ready to take advantage of more women, but The League won’t let that continue. Darcy and Elizabeth are asked to deceive those around them for a good cause. It is one last opportunity for Darcy, but will it be enough? And what is The League of the Golden Daffodil...?

The Expanded Edition adds 4 additional short stories that continue the adventures of The League of the Golden Daffodil.

This is a sweet and clean, low angst Pride and Prejudice variation where all of the Bennet sisters have happy endings, with a satisfying epilogue.

Great read

This was a great read. I laughed out loud many times when Harry Frost is Lady Catherine :) absolutely brilliant. This book had a lot of added short stories which was on the same subject. Great Jaff.

Harry Frost..automatic buy

One of my favorite authors paired with a great narrator makes an excellent book beyond perfect. It was fun seeing Lady C and Anne in different roles. I loved the plot of this story. The vigilante aspect was brilliant and creative. Recommend.

Funny and different than any other jaff I’ve listened to

I absolutely loved this, lady Catherine was the best version of herself and Ann was strong, definitely would love more like this

Delightful Story

This story is so much fun that I started the second reading as soon as it finished. This is a new favorite.

Amazing and Unique Variation

This was a wonderful compilation of stories. It was a brilliant departure for Lady Catherine and Anne. The premise was great and I loved the Golden Daffodil twist. The Narration of Harry Frost was also brilliant.

A new favorite!

With the exception of one person, the regular characters were given kinder personalities! The narrator is always perfect and the author has been a favorite. I’ll be listening to this story again!

Justice, Lady Cat Style

For me, this variation leans more towards lighthearted than the subject matter would suggest. I mean, Wickham dying from gunshot wounds isn’t exactly funny, but the way he is outsmarted by Lady Catherine’s girl’s justice league had me cheering for them. I’ve read the book twice, but once again, Harry Frost breathes life into the characters and upgrades the written words into entertainment. I especially liked the way he transitions Anne’s voice from meek-as-a-mouse to Commanding Lady. Ditto for Lady Catherine acting the part of a looney drunk better than a Drury Lane pro. Priceless! It’s a very enjoyable listen! ⭐️

Very Entertaining

I am not a huge fan of Ms Kendig’s books but I always at least try them because when she is good, she is very good. I don’t mind the Christian themes but I generally find her books to be too sweet. This is definitely an ensemble cast, not a D&E love story. All the characters are fleshed out but without tedious detail - well done on the economy! There is one scene that is hilarious and while I really enjoyed it when I read the book, Mr Frost had me laughing until I cried. On that note, the narration was superb, I especially love how he voices Mr Collins. Highly recommend.

A surprising Lady C & Anne!

This story took me down a path I was not expecting. Partly because I didn’t bother reading the “about” part because any story by Laraba Kendig is always good. I got the audiobook narrated by Harry Frost to go with the ebook and as always Harry brings the story to life even more.

This story starts off in Kent with Darcy‘s disastrous proposal and within a short time Darcy and Col Fitzwilliam’s world and reality is turned upside down. A plan is formed to remove Wickham so he can no longer endanger young ladies. This plan includes Elizabeth and Darcy in a courtship, yep, right after his disastrous proposal and her refusal. Sit back and see how the plan evolves and what additional characters are brought in to make the plan successful. Because this is the expanded addition, we are able to get a few very short extra stories on other adventures. This was a fun but serious story and one I will gladly read or listen to again.

Main Story Good - Narrator Excellent

I mostly enjoyed the original GD story. I liked the premise and characterizations of Lady C and Anne. I swallowed the first 2, even 3, biblical references, after that i began to feel the author was preaching to her readers and I very much dislike that. I don’t listen to P&P variations as bible study sessions. I don’t know that I will risk another story from this author. Harry Frost was excellent as usual.
