First edition, first printing. 318pp. In red cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on spine (strong, clean boards, a little rubbed at head and tail of a gently sunned spine). Internally neat, clean and bright, barring a hint of toning on rear endpapers, previous owner's name on front free endpaper. Firmly bound. A regency romance. 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.
