Reissue. 285pp. In peach cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on spine. 8vo. Cloth slightly crushed at extreme spine tips. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket, very slightly bumped at spine ends, very slightly soiled on verso. Georgette Heyer, an English novelist and short story writer, effectively established the historical romance genre and its sub-genre of Regency Romances. She 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. This novel is set in medieval times. We have many of her works in stock, and offer generous discounts to those ordering more than one title at a time – please inquire.
