Book Club edition. 276pp. In red cloth-covered boards with black lettering on spine (boards gently rounded at corners and spine ends). Some spotting on text block edges, and faint, occasional spotting on pages. In its original dust jacket (rubbed and chipped at edges, old tape repairs to closed tears, minor loss at spine ends). Firmly bound. A regency novel. Georgette Heyer, an English novelist and short story writer, effectively established the historical romance genre, and its sub-genre of Regency Romances, and has remained popular among readers since the publication of her first novel, The Black Month, in 1921. Although perhaps best known (and collected) for her Regency Romances, which were written with great attention to historical detail, she also wrote thrillers and detective fiction. We have many of her works in stock, and offer generous discounts to those ordering more than one title at a time - please inquire.
