Official Mummies Website: http://www.norilana.com/mpam.htm Review: Faithful to the original, and funny - MP&Mummies is a faithful, and loving, reinterpretation of the original by Austen that also happens to be funny. I'm a huge Austen fan, love her books, and have read and re-read them many times. Vera Nazarian's mash-up kept me laughing, and agreeing with her interpretations of the characters. They kept their original personalities, and followed the original plot--it's well-nigh seamless how Vera did it. It's a work of love for sure. Mash-ups like this are a tight-rope walk between satire of the original satire that Austen wrote, respect, and a balance between the original text and the new text. Vera Nazarian has walked that tight-rope successfully, in my opinion. I pick this up whenever I need a lift. I mean, come on, Aunt Norris as a werewolf-and that being an "open secret"? It's perfect. Other characters as vampires? (although not ever straight out announced as such) Perfect. It IS long-as long as the original Mansfield Park, whereas many take-offs would be shorter, but that's okay with me. That means there's more to enjoy. I did start trying to ignore the footnotes, though (those did get tiresome after the first hundred pages), but other than that-fun! Really! Review: Jane Austen Meets the Monsters - Shy, timid Fanny Price finds herself up against a dreamy ancient mummy, a cold vampire rival, werewolves in the hedgerows, and all sorts of family hijinks in this lighthearted mashup of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park and the supernatural. Having read the later entries in Vera Nazarian's Supernatural Austen series, I came back to the one that started it all for an entertaining time. As described, this is Jane Austen's Mansfield Park infused and enlivened by a monster mash of supernatural creatures. The author seemed to retain all of the original while plugging in the additional elements. The mummy side of matters happens when Lady Bertram innocently accepts the keeping of part of a British scholar's Egyptian collection he brought back from Egypt and requires a place to store it. Little did they know that there were powerful mystical artifacts in the collection and a pharaoh who has seen his beloved reincarnated in pretty Fanny Price. Meanwhile, Aunt Norris gets furry and beastly under the full moon and Miss Crawford has a cold vampiric heart though she has warmed to the idea of handsome Edmund Bertram being hers. Fanny has her hands full and can only watch in astonishment as events play out around her until she is called upon to show her own brand of courage when needed most. Like with the others in the series, I did find the pacing sometimes off and lagging and it sometimes felt as if the supernatural elements were crammed in rather than meshed. However, mostly, I had a rollicking good time with this lightweight monster romp set in Jane Austen's novel. ## Features - Highlight, take notes, and search in the book ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,926,746 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #5,172 in Classic Historical Fiction #7,175 in Historical Fantasy (Kindle Store) #10,444 in Historical Fantasy (Books) | ## Images ![Mansfield Park and Mummies: Monster Mayhem, Matrimony, Ancient Curses, True Love, and Other Dire Delights - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-BfgwPZrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Faithful to the original, and funny *by J***R on April 11, 2010* MP&Mummies is a faithful, and loving, reinterpretation of the original by Austen that also happens to be funny.

It wasn't what I was expecting, but also thankfully so. I laughed and laughed through Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, but was often taken aback by the graphic gore. You'll find none of that here, just a plain old Victorian Romance with supernatural elements thrown in. Besides the mummies, you'll find 2 werewolves and a vampirette--but none of them are particularly lethal. Although a fan of 19th Century literature, this tale of reincarnation and misguided unions, was a pleasure to read--in fact I can honestly say it was my one great book of the summer of 2010. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/116024793-mansfield-park-and-mummies-monster-mayhem-matrimony-ancient-curses-true](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/116024793-mansfield-park-and-mummies-monster-mayhem-matrimony-ancient-curses-true) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
