About the Book

A devastating loss

A heroic act

A life-changing injury

Having known only a privileged life, Miss Catherine Bennet-no longer Kitty-used her one connection to secure a governess's position. Her father's sudden death brought about this change in circumstances and has amended her character. She's now reliable, determined, trustworthy, and much more than the pretty face her mother thought would win her a husband.

When tragedy strikes in the park-and war's unseen wounds capture her footman-Miss Bennet sustains life threatening injuries. Fate's chance encounter that November day brings General Richard Fitzwilliam to her side. Having spent years fighting the Tyrant, he sees past her scars and values her compassion, steadiness of purpose, and resilience in the face of devastating obstacles.

An unbreakable bond between a maid and the footman grows in the face of that same tragedy proving the deepest human emotions are universal and disregard wealth and status. Follow Annie Reynolds and Henry Wilson as they work with General Sir Richard Fitzwilliam and Miss Bennet to defeat the threat aimed at the heart of the British Empire after Napoleon's fall.

Lessers and Betters pairs two novellas that explore the Hyde Park attack when governess Kitty Bennet is grievously injured as she defends little Margaret Cecil. The first story, Of Fortune's Reversal, is told from the gentry's point of view after Longbourn's fourth daughter is forced to seek employment. The Maid and the Footman follows the same plot but is enriched by the humanity of the titular characters Annie Reynolds and Henry Wilson. The 2023 Remastered edition is about 85,000 words in length.

What Reviewers Say About Lessers and Betters

Five Stars!

This was hands down one of the best that I have read so far. I love the blend of other characters from other books so familiar to us that we already know their personalities and background. Excellent writing. I could not put it down. This one I have to have in my collection. NM Reader

Don Jacobson creates new and original PRIDE & PREJUDICE side stories in these two Austen-esque novellas which tell the story of the same big event of November 1815, from two different class perspectives, reminiscent of UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS or DOWNTON ABBEY. For a glimpse of the author's well-educated insight into the creative process of these works, don't skip the opening author's comments. BJD

Great historical work that will delight JAFF and nonJAFF readers. A book with a Regency perspective that delves into the lives of people with interesting pasts and the love and friendship that brings them together despite class status. Great story with real emotion that captured my attention from the start. You won't want to put it down. Lizzy B
