This is the story of Pride and Prejudice as seen through the eyes of Reggie, Mr. Darcy's dog. Reggie has a keen perception of things going on around him and the story begins with Darcy as a young boy of 15, picking Reggie out from a litter. We see the two of them become close companions as Darcy grows up and enters the story of Pride and Prejudice that Jane Austen penned. But the story also takes you to those silent months and behind the scenes where Reggie has much on which to reflect, comment, and intervene. Visit "KaraLou's" website, Jane Austen's Land of Ahhhs;, www.ahhhs.net, to read additional stories by her.

I loved this book. It stays so true to the original story and you really buy into Reggie's view of the world. The ending left me with a lump in my throat and I have already reread it. This is definitely a feel good book that is on my 'read when you are feeling down' list.

Such a beautiful written book from the point of view of Darcy's dog Reggie. It shows from him being a child and how he chose Reggie and how he grows up with him. He goes to Netherfield and meets Elizabeth. He really likes her and is always trying to get his master to notice her. Elizabeth likes Reggie, and later in the story he gets badly injured by Wickham and not long after the marriage he dies leaving his son to look after the Pemberley family. It is such a wonderful book you cannot help but shed a tear here and there especially toward the end of the book.

Reggie's story is delightful

I first read "Master Under Good Regulation" as fan fiction. When it was published I knew I had to add it to my book collection. It is a delightful retelling of Pride and Prejudice. It is Reggie,Darcy's dog, who relates the events leading up to the ultimate happy ending. Kara Louise's stories are all enjoyable, I have yet to read anything of hers that has not delighted me. This is a must buy for the Austen addict.

way better than I expected

I was a little leary of this book: A dog's point of view?! BUT, I thought it was very well done and, once again, showed a different side of Darcy and his past that we can only conjecture. I strongly recommend this to add to anyone's collection who is still in love with Mr Darcy.

Wonderful story!

I truly enjoyed this spin-off of Pride and Prejudice. It gives the reader a concrete, realistic idea of what shaped Mr. Darcy as he was growing up and made him the man he became as well as what motivated his behavior all seen through the eyes of his faithful companion, Reggie. Anyone who has had a special dog-friend can identify with this point of view. (Sometimes I think dogs understand humans better than we understand them.) There are moments in this story when you will just laugh out loud and others where you want to cry. Very poignant. It is also a "safe read" as there are no "peeping tom" incidents in it which is akin to the original story. It also follows the original story plot pretty faithfully; and, personally, I enjoy the "old" language. It makes the read more seamless with Jane Austen's book, although I did not find it heavily done here. Hope you like it as much as I did!
