One of best-known and most beloved historical novelists will capture a whole new audience in a stunning repackage.
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and best-loved of all historical novelists, who made the Regency period her own. Her first novel, The Black Moth, published in 1921, was written at the age of seventeen to amuse her convalescent brother; her last was My Lord John. Although most famous for her historical novels, she also wrote eleven detective stories. Georgette Heyer died in 1974 at the age of seventy-one.
If you want to escape lockdown completely, then I recommend any
novel by Georgette Heyer, or indeed, all her novels. They are
absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes, winsome heroines,
fops, dandies, dastardly baddies and lots of sumptuous descriptions
of silk-lined bonnets, cravats and breeches. Utter, immersive
escapism. Try starting off with Frederica.
