First thus. 250pp. In red cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on spine (boards are strong and clean, very slightly rubbed and rounded at spine tips, very slightly cocked). Internally neat, clean and bright barring a hint of discolouration on endpapers only. In its original worn and torn dust jacket, chapped and cracked at edges, with old and failing tape repairs, minor loss at spine tips. Firmly bound. Heyer's first collection of short stories, one of which was previously published. 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.
