Sybil G. Brinton

Little is known about Sybil G. Brinton, but she does hold the title of "Earliest Known Jane Austen Fanfic Writer", which is nothing to sneeze at. Her 1913 book Old Friends and New Fancies: An Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen is one of our Featured Books.

Aftertaste:
None, unless you're poor Colonel Brandon.

Availability:
Everywhere.

Other Recommendations:
Susan, by Joan Aiken (Seeing as Susan Price is one of the few unmarried characters Brinton forgets in her book...)
