I've heard that there are many spin-offs of Jane Austen's
Pride and Prejudice. I've been a bit ooky about reading any of them, though, knowing that Miss Austen's genuis is unique and being fearful of what authors might do to my beloved fictional friends, but the above series was recommended to me by several fellow Austen-lovers, and so I've been reading through them as time and the library allow. They are written very well and I'm enjoying them very much. They contain Mr. Darcy's story during the
Pride & Prejudice timeline, told from his perspective. Some minor characters from P&P are brought to the front in these, and some new characters emerge. The second novel was a little goofy in the plot, but the first was wonderful, and the third is quite good so far. It is obvious that the author loves the original story as much as do Austen's most devoted fans.

Ooky?
I'm looking forward to getting it from my local library now that you have made the recommendation! Cool beans!
Great word....ooky.... I like it! I'm planning on feeling ooky tomorrow, just because I can! 
I'll check these out. I was terribly disappointed in a "sequel" of P&P once. Mr. Darcy's Daughters was the name. It was probably the worst book I've ever read.
Lovely redesign! And it's good to know that not all the spin-offs of Austen are awful.
Speaking of which, have you seen any of the PBS stuff lately? I watched one "biographical" movie, and it was okay, though I too was a bit ooky :)
