Mr Collins' Deception: A Pride & Prejudice Variation Short Story by Renata McMann
Mr Collins' Deception is that he is not the man we have learned to loath in Pride and Prejudice and tons of JAFF variations. At the beginning of the story, Mr. Collins learns that Lady Catherine gives every clergyman a 1 year probationary period. So far, all of Mr. Collins' acquaintance and friends have been let go by Lady Catherine 6 weeks prior to the end of their probation. William Collins has determined he will be everything Lady Catherine desires for the 1 year period, and then will revert back to being himself. So, who is Mr. Collins really? Mr. Collins' Deception is a silly, entertaining story about the true Mr. Collins and how he attempts to fool everyone for 1 year. I found the story a bit far-fetched, but I am confident that is the intention of the authors, as it added to the humor. The story is totally told from Mr. Collins' perspective. A light novella - quickly read. None of the charm or romance of P&P, but a satiric novelty with an interesting premise.
