1st US edition. 256pp. In red cloth-covered boards with gilt titles and borders on spine (boards a little faded and rounded at spine ends). Front free endpaper absent, gutter between endpapers reinforced with tape, else internally neat, clean and bright. Firmly bound. In its original dust jacket (heavily bumped along upper edge with a couple of short closed tears). 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.
