THE CHINAMEN WAY - Freshwater Prawn Culture: The Farming of Macrobrachium rosenbergii MATURES RAPIDLY IN FARM PONDS KURAMA SHRIMP

A wonderful combination of Jane Austen's classic story set today in a picturesque seaside town in England, of her formal language with modern phrases and subjects - 

but the same young people NOW WITH 40 YEARS OR SO , the same excitement and tension of young love
, the same snobbishness and ambitious parents as there were in Jane Austens time. 

The same plot but today 

WITH LESS CHILDREN TO CARE FOR 

AND WITH LESS PREGNANT WOMEN TO DIE 

OF LABOUR IN LABOUR OR TORIE DAY ...

 Its witty and frothy and clever and FULL OF PRAWNS  


I think she would have loved it -
 especially the puns and saucy touches -
 she loved to shock! But that's English humour for you. 

And England too, all politeness and buttoned up restraint but underneath....! 

Well - do read  PRAWN AND PREJUDICE OR PRÉ JUDITE
