0:00.0	Hi everyone, welcome to this week's episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, live from the Cheltenham Literature Festival with a very special guest. It was our good friend Rachel Paris. Yes, Rachel's been on the pot a few times before and she was at Cheltenham, partly because she has a brilliant new book out. It is a Pride and Prejudice sequel of sorts.
0:23.6	It's all about Charlotte Lucas, who you might remember marries Mr. Collins.
0:28.6	Big mistake.
0:29.6	And Rachel's book is called Introducing Mrs. Collins, and it's all about what happens next.
0:33.6	And it reintroduces basically the whole cast of Pride and Prejudice.
0:36.6	But with a focus on Charlotte,
0:38.1	Lucas, it's a really great book. I've just finished reading it. So much fun. It's got a lot of

0:48.0	will really like it. And I hope you really like this episode of Noses Singers of Fish as well.
